How to Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites
- Prepare the banana base:
Slice bananas and arrange them closely together into small clusters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. - Add the yogurt layer:
Spoon a generous amount of creamy greek yogurt over each cluster, spreading it evenly. Freeze for about 1 hour, or until the yogurt is set. - Add chocolate + toppings:
Remove from the freezer and spread melted chocolate over each cluster. Then sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. - Final freeze:
Place back in the freezer for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. - Enjoy!
Let sit for a minute or two before eating for the best texture.
Top Tips for the Best Yogurt Bites

- Make sure the yogurt layer is fully set before adding chocolate
- Use thick greek yogurt for the creamiest texture
- Let your yogurt clusters sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating
How to Store Frozen Yogurt Bites
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. For best texture, let clusters sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before eating.
Variations
- Replace walnuts with your preferred toppings! My favorite add-on's are shredded coconut or granola for a little crunch.

- Stir a scoop of vanilla protein powder into yogurt for an extra protein boost.
- Finish with a pinch of sea salt for a lovely sweet and salty combo.
