# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth and no lumps remain, ensuring a creamy foundation for your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites.
02 -
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 tbsp coconut oil. Stir in 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt until well combined and smooth. This creates the rich swirl for your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites.
03 -
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish or a small sheet pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Evenly spread the entire yogurt base mixture into the prepared dish, creating a uniform layer.
04 -
Drizzle the prepared peanut butter mixture over the yogurt base. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter into the yogurt, creating beautiful patterns throughout. Don't overmix; aim for distinct swirls.
05 -
Sprinkle 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts evenly over the swirled yogurt. Finish with a delicate sprinkle of 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt for a perfect sweet and salty balance in your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites.
06 -
Place the dish in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until the High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites are completely solid. This ensures they hold their shape when cut.
07 -
Once frozen, lift the parchment paper to remove the slab from the dish. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 16 bite-sized squares or irregular bark pieces. Serve immediately or store.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, store these High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. They are best enjoyed straight from the freezer.
02 -
Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors (chocolate, unflavored) or nut butters (almond butter, cashew butter) for a unique twist. Adjust maple syrup to taste.
03 -
These bites make a fantastic post-workout snack, a healthy dessert, or a quick breakfast on the go. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes at room temperature before eating if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
04 -
Ensure your Greek yogurt is thick; straining thinner yogurts for 30 minutes can prevent an icy texture. Also, make sure your coconut oil is fully melted for a smooth peanut butter swirl.
