These frozen Greek yogurt peanut butter bites are a cold and creamy snack that is as easy to make as it is satisfying. Packed with protein, a touch of sweetness, and customizable crunchy add-ons, you can whip up a batch in minutes and keep them on hand for busy afternoons, post-gym cravings, or late-night treats.

My family asks for these on hot days and I always keep a stash in our freezer. The peanut butter and chocolate chips win everyone over every single time.

Ingredients

  • Greek yogurt: Choose plain or vanilla for creaminess and protein rich goodness Try to select full fat for extra flavor and smoothness
  • Peanut butter: Use creamy for a smooth texture or crunchy if you want a little bite Natural peanut butter works too just make sure it is stirred well and at room temperature
  • Honey or maple syrup: For balanced sweetness Adjust to your own taste I like honey for floral notes but maple works great and is vegan friendly
  • Vanilla extract: Gives a warm sweet note Use pure vanilla for the best flavor
  • Mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate: These add classic chocolate peanut butter joy Go for a high quality chocolate for bigger flavor payoff
  • Optional cinnamon: For a hint of spice and warmth
  • Optional chia seeds or ground flaxseed: For added nutrition and fiber
  • Optional chopped nuts: Almonds walnuts or pecans for extra texture and healthy fats Choose fresh nuts without a rancid smell

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep Your Tray:
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper making sure it fits flat in your freezer Leave enough space for the bites to sit without touching This step means easy release later and no messy cleanup
Mix the Base:
In a medium bowl combine Greek yogurt peanut butter honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no streaks of peanut butter left If your mixture is too thick a teaspoon of milk or extra yogurt can help thin it
Fold in the Goodies:
Add your mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the bowl Gently fold them in so they are evenly distributed If you want to add cinnamon chia seeds or chopped nuts do so now and mix until everything looks even
Scoop and Shape:
Using a tablespoon or small scoop drop 1 to 1.5 tablespoon portions of the mix onto your lined tray Each bite should have some space so they freeze individually If you want a neater look smooth the tops gently with a spoon
Freeze Until Firm:
Transfer the tray to your freezer Place it flat and let the bites freeze for one to two hours until fully firm The freeze time depends on your freezer and the size of your scoops
Transfer and Store:
Once frozen solid move the bites into a freezer safe container or zip top bag Layer parchment between stacks if needed for easy grab and go Seal tight to keep out freezer tastes and prevent frost
Enjoy:
You can enjoy these straight from the freezer for a cold creamy snack For the best texture let them sit at room temperature for about thirty seconds before taking a bite They make an awesome mini dessert too

My favorite add in is crunchy chopped pecans They give every bite a nutty kick and remind me of baking cookies with my grandma on Sunday afternoons We both agree a little crunch is never a bad thing

Storage Tips

Keep these bites in a sealed airtight container or zip top freezer bag They will stay fresh for up to two months in the freezer If you plan to stack them always put parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking When grabbing a snack just take out the number you need and pop the rest back If your kitchen is warm eat them quickly as they will soften fast

Ingredient Substitutions

Almost everything here is adaptable Swap the peanut butter for almond or sunflower butter if allergies are a concern Use dairy free yogurt to keep it vegan Replace honey with maple syrup and try dried fruit or coconut flakes for a new flavor twist Nuts and chocolate chips can be swapped for seeds or granola Clusters

Serving Suggestions

Serve as a midday snack after school or with coffee for a nourishing breakfast treat These bites make a great cool down snack post workout or a healthier dessert at summer dinner parties You can even serve them on top of a bowl of oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast My youngest loves them as mini ice cream sandwiches between two graham crackers

Cultural and Historical Context

Greek yogurt has been beloved in Mediterranean kitchens for centuries prized for its thick texture and high protein content The pairing of peanut butter and chocolate is a classic American combo but here you get a modern nutritious twist that honors both cultures My first batch of these bites I made as a simple homemade solution to expensive grocery store protein bars and we never looked back

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 240 ml Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
02 80 ml peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, at room temperature)
03 30 ml honey or maple syrup (to taste)
04 2.5 ml vanilla extract

06 1.25 ml ground cinnamon (for extra warmth)
07 15 ml chia seeds or ground flaxseed (for added nutrition)
08 20 g chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Instructions

Step 01

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper, ensuring it fits comfortably in your freezer.

Step 02

In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly with a sturdy spatula or spoon until smooth with no visible streaks of peanut butter. If the mixture appears too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or additional yogurt to achieve a slightly thinner consistency.

Step 03

Fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed. If desired, fold in optional add-ins such as cinnamon, chia seeds or flaxseed, and chopped nuts.

Step 04

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion 15–22 ml mounds of the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined tray, spacing them at least 2–3 cm apart. Smooth the tops of each bite if a uniform appearance is preferred.

Step 05

Place the tray on a flat surface in the freezer. Freeze for 60–120 minutes, or until bites are completely firm.

Step 06

Once set, transfer frozen bites to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and seal tightly to protect from freezer burn.

Step 07

Enjoy bites directly from the freezer as a cold, protein-rich snack or dessert. For optimal texture, let stand at room temperature for 30 seconds before consuming.

Notes

  1. Ensure peanut butter is at room temperature for easier blending and a smoother yogurt mixture.
