Ingredients Needed to Make These PB & J Yogurt Bites

Let’s get into the ingredients for these homemade yogurt bites! Here is what you’ll need, along with a few suggested substitutions.

• Greek Yogurt: The essential creamy and high protein base for these bites. Greek yogurt provides a thick texture that freezes beautifully. Using unsweetened yogurt helps minimize the unnecessary sugar in this recipe. You can also use dairy free yogurt if you’d prefer.
• Raspberries: Bring the classic peanut butter jelly flavor to life. When mashed into the yogurt, they release their juices and create natural sweetness while adding fibre and vibrant color. You will notice the mixture turning slightly pink as the berries break down.
• Peanut Butter: Adds richness, healthy fats, and that nostalgic flavor that makes this snack familiar and comforting. It also helps create a smooth texture and balances the tanginess of the yogurt.
• Botanica Vanilla Protein Powder: The protein powder blends smoothly into the yogurt mixture and increases the overall protein content of these frozen yogurt fruit bites, helping make them more filling and satisfying. You can omit the protein powder if you’d like, but why?!
• Maple Syrup: Adds gentle sweetness and warmth without overpowering the fruit flavors. It also keeps the yogurt mixture from tasting overly tart once frozen.
• Vanilla: A splash of vanilla enhances all the other ingredients and rounds out the flavour.
• Dark Chocolate: Coating the bites adds a crisp outer shell that contrasts beautifully with the creamy frozen center. I love that the chocolate adds a layer of indulgence as well, white chocolate would also be a fun option.
• Olive Oil: A small amount of olive oil to the melted chocolate helps create a smoother coating that spreads easily over the frozen bites.
• Flaky Salt: A final sprinkle of flaky salt balances the sweetness and highlights the peanut butter and chocolate flavors.
