- 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
- ½ cup natural, creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, seeds, cinnamon
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, ½ cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 scoop of protein powder. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
- If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) until you reach your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but smooth enough to scoop.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each scoop to form bite-sized rounds or squares.
- If you’re using toppings like mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts, sprinkle them on top of each bite before they go into the freezer.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the bites are firm and solid.
- Once frozen, transfer the bites into an airtight container or a freezer bag. You can separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
