🧾 Ingredients
For about 24 bites (approx. 120 calories each):
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or regular)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts, shredded coconut, sea salt flakes
🍽️ Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Base
In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey. Mix until smooth, creamy, and fully blended. You can use a hand mixer or whisk for best results.
Step 2: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3: Scoop the Bites
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or mini cookie scoop, portion out small mounds of the mixture (about 1–2 tablespoons each) onto the tray. You should get around 20–24 bites.
Step 4: Freeze Until Set
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2–3 hours or until the bites are completely frozen solid.
Step 5: Store and Enjoy
Once frozen, transfer the bites into an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Store in the freezer and enjoy straight out of it!

📜 History & Formation
Frozen yogurt has roots in the health-conscious wave of the 1970s, originally developed as a tangy, lower-fat alternative to ice cream. Greek yogurt, with its thick, creamy texture and high protein content, modernized the trend in the 2010s as part of the fitness and clean-eating movement. Combining it with peanut butter and chocolate chips in bite-sized frozen portions is a more recent innovation that reflects today’s focus on balanced snacking — minimal ingredients, no baking, and maximum satisfaction.
