Why Blueberry Yogurt Bites Are a Healthy Choice

These yogurt bites are packed with the goodness of Greek yogurt, which provides protein, calcium, and probiotics for gut health. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and fiber, making them great for heart health and digestion. The addition of lemon zest brings a citrusy zing, while the cardamom or cinnamon adds a warm, comforting spice. This is a naturally sweetened snack, perfect for anyone looking to stay on track with healthy eating while enjoying a refreshing and satisfying treat.

Ingredients for Blueberry Yogurt Bites

⅓ cup freeze-dried blueberries
1 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh blueberries

How to Make Blueberry Yogurt Bites — Step by Step

Prepare the yogurt mixture:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the freeze-dried blueberries in a zip-top plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they form a fine powder.
Transfer the blueberry powder to a medium bowl, then stir in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cardamom (or cinnamon), and salt. Mix until smooth.
Add the fresh blueberries:
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the yogurt mixture, making sure they are well coated.
Form the bites:
Using a fork, pick up one blueberry at a time, tapping off any excess yogurt. Use a wooden pick to push the blueberry off the fork and onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining blueberries, leaving a little space between each one.
Freeze the bites:
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the blueberry bites freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This will ensure the bites are completely set and ready to enjoy.
Serve and enjoy:
Remove the yogurt bites from the freezer 5 minutes before serving to let them soften slightly for the best texture. Enjoy these bites as a cool, refreshing snack or dessert.

Nora’s Tips for the Best Blueberry Yogurt Bites

Use high-quality Greek yogurt: Full-fat yogurt gives the bites a richer texture, but you can also use non-fat yogurt if you prefer.
Try different spices: If you’re not a fan of cardamom, cinnamon is a perfect alternative. For a more exotic flavor, you could also try a pinch of ginger.
Make them ahead of time: These yogurt bites can be stored in the freezer for up to a week, making them a great snack to have on hand.
Add a topping: Once the bites are frozen, try rolling them in crushed nuts or granola for added texture and flavor.
