Ingredients

For Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites:

• Greek Yogurt: This is the creamy base for our bites. It’s high in protein and gives a smooth, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruit swirl.
• Fresh Blueberries: The fresh blueberries are gently swirled into the yogurt, adding sweetness and a beautiful color.
• Honey: A little honey helps to sweeten the yogurt and gives the bites a nice balance of flavors.
• Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla adds a warm, sweet undertone that makes these yogurt bites feel extra special.

Instructions

Ready to make these sweet treats? Let’s get started!

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Mixture

In a small saucepan, add the fresh blueberries and a little bit of water (just enough to help them soften). Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and create a thick syrup. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-combined. The honey will add just the right amount of sweetness to the yogurt.

Step 3: Swirl in the Blueberries

Once the blueberry mixture has cooled slightly, spoon about a tablespoon or two into the yogurt mixture. Gently swirl the blueberries through the yogurt with a spoon. Don’t overmix; you want to keep those beautiful streaks of blueberry goodness!

Step 4: Scoop and Freeze

Spoon the yogurt mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone mold. Each section should be about halfway full. Gently tap the tray on the counter to level the yogurt and release any air bubbles.

Step 5: Freeze Until Firm

Place the tray in the freezer and let the yogurt bites freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.

Step 6: Pop Out the Bites

Once the bites are frozen, pop them out of the tray and store them in an airtight container in the freezer.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Serve these cool and creamy yogurt bites straight from the freezer. They’re the perfect snack to enjoy on a warm day or whenever you need something light and refreshing.
