It started as a summer experiment with my kids — a bowl of yogurt, a spoonful of peanut butter, and not much of a plan. The kitchen was warm, the fridge was nearly empty, and I needed something refreshing that didn’t involve turning on the oven. I thought, “What if we freeze this?” And just like that, a new favorite treat was born.

Now, these Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are on regular rotation. They’re quick to make, surprisingly filling, and perfect for when you want something cold and satisfying — but not overly sweet. I’ve even caught myself sneaking one after a workout, right when the peanut butter hits just right.

They’re creamy with a little chew, packed with protein, and totally kid-approved. Plus, you can dress them up or down depending on your mood — a drizzle of chocolate, a sprinkle of granola, or even a chopped berry on top. I keep a stash in the freezer for those moments when I need a snack that feels like a treat but still checks all the boxes.

Short Description

Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are creamy, protein-packed snacks made with just a few wholesome ingredients. Perfectly chilled, they’re great for hot days, healthy snacking, or late-night cravings.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Base Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
½ cup natural peanut butter – creamy and unsweetened
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

Mini chocolate chips
Crushed nuts or granola
Sliced bananas or freeze-dried berries

Tools & Equipment

Mixing bowl
Spoon or spatula
Silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube mold
Freezer-safe container with lid
Parchment or cling wrap (if needed)

How To Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites

Step 1: Mix It Up
In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until completely smooth. The mixture should be thick and creamy, like frosting.

Step 2: Fill the Molds
Spoon the mixture evenly into a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube mold. Tap gently on the counter to flatten the tops. If you like, add a sprinkle of toppings now.

Step 3: Freeze Until Set
Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for 2–3 hours, or until fully solid. Once frozen, pop the bites out and transfer them to a sealed container for storage.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These bites are best enjoyed straight from the freezer — they soften slightly in about 30 seconds for a creamy texture.

Pair with a handful of fruit for a quick breakfast, or serve alongside iced coffee for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

They also work well chopped over oatmeal or blended into smoothies.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Room Temperature: Not suitable — they’ll melt quickly.

Refrigerator: Can be stored up to 1 day but lose firmness.

Freezer: Store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking.

To Serve: Let sit at room temp for 20–30 seconds before eating for best texture.

Top Tips for Perfecting

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture
Make sure peanut butter is stirred well to avoid oil separation in the mix
Silicone molds make removal easy without cracking the bites
Sweeten to your taste — adjust honey or syrup depending on yogurt tartness
Don’t skip vanilla — it adds just the right warmth to balance the chill

Recipe Variations

1. Chocolate Swirl Bites
Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and swirl melted dark chocolate through the yogurt mix.

2. Banana Peanut Butter
Mash half a ripe banana into the mixture for extra flavor and natural sweetness.

3. Strawberry Crunch
Fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries and a spoonful of crushed cereal for texture.

4. Almond Joy Version
Use almond butter, a dash of coconut extract, and sprinkle with shredded coconut and mini chocolate chips.

5. Kid-Friendly PB&J
Add a small dot of strawberry jam in the center before freezing for a surprise jelly filling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Absolutely, just expect a more textured bite.

3. Do I need silicone molds?
They make things easier, but small paper cupcake liners in a mini muffin tray work too.

4. Can I skip the sweetener?
Yes, especially if your yogurt and peanut butter are naturally sweet or if you’re topping with fruit.

5. How long do they stay good in the freezer?
Best within 2 weeks for texture and flavor, but technically safe for longer if kept airtight.
