How to Make Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites

Ingredients

1½ cups (370g) plain Greek yogurt (choose 2% or full-fat for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or erythritol for a keto-friendly version)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup (100g) fresh or frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon lemon juice (adds a bright pop of flavor)
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for texture and fiber)

Directions

Prepare the Blueberry Compote
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries soften and release their juices. Mash lightly with a spoon to achieve a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and mix in chia seeds if using. Allow the compote to cool completely.
Make the Yogurt Base
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Assemble the Bites
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray. Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt.
Freeze
Place the tray flat in the freezer and allow the bites to set for at least 2 hours.
Serve & Store
Carefully remove the bites from the molds. Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, let them thaw slightly for 2–4 minutes.
