Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites

These tiny frozen yogurt treats were my lifesaver during last year's brutal heat! When it's so hot you can't bear turning on the oven, these no-bake goodies come through with just three basic ingredients. Think of them as a broken-down parfait you can pull straight from your freezer whenever you want something cool and tasty.

My 6-year-old niece helped make these with me recently, and she couldn't stop talking about making something "fancy" by herself. She now begs to make "strawberry ice cream cups" every single time she comes over.

Your Shopping List

• Vanilla yogurt: Forms that smooth, creamy foundation we crave. Regular yogurt works great, but go with Greek if you want to add more protein.
• Fresh strawberries: They're what makes this dish shine! Fresh ones mash up nicer than frozen and look prettier when sliced on top.
• Granola: Gives that must-have crunch. Grab some from the store, or if you've got time, homemade takes these up a notch.
• Muffin liners: They'll save you tons of trouble later. Paper ones do the job, but silicone works even better if you've got them.

My Simple Method

Get Your Tray Ready

Put paper liners in your muffin tin first or you'll regret it when trying to chip frozen yogurt off your pan later! I typically make twelve at once since they keep so well in the freezer.

Start With Crunch

Drop a bit of granola at the bottom of each liner. Don't go crazy here about a teaspoon works best. Too much and you'll find your frozen bites too hard to enjoy.

Work Your Yogurt Magic

Here's where things get good! Cut up and squash fresh strawberries directly into your vanilla yogurt for amazing DIY strawberry yogurt. I keep some tiny chunks for texture, but you can make yours smoother if that's what you like.

Fill And Decorate

Drop your strawberry yogurt mix over the granola bottom. Use the back of your spoon to smooth everything out. Then push a nice strawberry slice into each one and sprinkle extra granola on top if you're feeling extra.

I found this treat idea last summer while hunting for healthy frozen snacks. My first try had way too much granola and felt like biting into stones! After playing around a bit, I found this perfect mix that gives just enough crunch without risking a trip to the dentist.

Ways To Enjoy

They taste great by themselves, but sometimes I'll put a few on a plate with extra fresh berries for a pretty dessert option. My kids grab them after school, and I feel good letting them have these instead of processed snacks. They also work as a quick morning meal grab a couple with your coffee and you're set!

Switch Things Up

Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries to change the flavor. Try honey or coconut yogurt instead of vanilla for something different. Add some honey or maple syrup drizzle if you want more sweetness. For a more dessert-like version, throw some mini chocolate chips on top right before freezing.

Keeping Them Fresh

After they're completely frozen, I move them to a freezer bag to make more room. They'll stay good for around a month, though they usually disappear much faster in my house! When packing for lunch boxes, wrap each one in foil and they'll thaw just right by lunchtime.

Smart Shortcuts

• Set up muffin liners on your counter first, fill them there, then move to the muffin tin much cleaner this way!
• For super creamy results, let your yogurt warm up to room temperature before mixing with the strawberries
• When using Greek yogurt, add a tiny bit of milk to make it easier to scoop

These strawberry yogurt bites have become my answer for practically everything summer gatherings, kids' snacks, or keeping my sweet cravings in check. There's something really nice about having these little treats waiting in the freezer whenever hunger strikes, and knowing exactly what's in them makes eating them even better!
