Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the base. In a medium bowl stir together the Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, optional protein powder, and salt until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness.
- Add blueberries. Gently fold in the blueberries (and optional lemon zest or chocolate chips) so they are evenly distributed without crushing them too much.
- Portion the bites. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded teaspoon- to tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them slightly apart.
- Freeze. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze until solid, about 1–2 hours. Once firm, transfer the bites to an airtight container or freezer bag for storage.
- Serve. Enjoy straight from the freezer. Let sit 1–2 minutes if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
Notes & Tips
- Use the thickest Greek yogurt you can find for the best texture and shape.
- A small cookie scoop makes uniform bites that freeze and store easily.
- If adding protein powder, start with a little and mix well to avoid a chalky taste.
- Freeze in a single layer first so the bites don’t stick together.
- These keep well for weeks and make excellent grab-and-go snacks.
Variations & serving ideas
- Dairy-free: Use thick coconut yogurt and a plant-based protein powder if adding extra protein.
- Different fruit: Swap blueberries for raspberries or diced strawberries (adjust carbs).
- Higher protein: Stir in ½–1 scoop of protein powder.
- Sweeter: Increase the sugar-free sweetener to taste.
- Lemon blueberry: Add lemon zest and a few drops of lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
- Chocolate chip: Fold in a small amount of sugar-free chocolate chips before freezing.
- Berry mix: Use a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and diced strawberries.
- Higher protein: Stir ½–1 scoop of vanilla protein powder into the yogurt base.
Storage
- Freezer: Up to 1–2 months (Store in an airtight container or bag)
- Meal prep: Excellent (Portion into small bags for grab-and-go snacks)

Frequently asked questions
Are these bites keto-friendly?
They can fit many low-carb plans at 9g net carbs per serving. For stricter keto, reduce the blueberries or use a smaller portion.
Can I use regular yogurt?
Thick Greek yogurt works best. Regular yogurt is thinner and may not freeze into firm, scoopable bites as well.
Do I need a mold?
No. Simply drop rounded mounds onto a parchment-lined tray. Silicone molds can be used if you prefer uniform shapes.
How long do they take to freeze?
Usually 1–2 hours until solid, depending on the size of the bites and your freezer.
Can I make them dairy-free?
Yes. Use a thick coconut or almond-based yogurt. Results will be slightly different in texture but still delicious.
How should I store them?
Once frozen solid, transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. They keep well for 1–2 months.
