Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites

Hi Friends!

So here’s the deal. Bright and early tomorrow morning, I leave to go to Blend Retreat! I can’t believe it’s finally here! I have approximately 9,280 things to do before my flight so I don’t have much time to chat.

But I just HAD to share these with you. HAD TO!

So let’s dive right in, shall we?

I don’t think it’s any secret that I adore these two companies:

bites2

They go together like peanut butter and jelly. And mixing them together is one of my favorite snacks. It also just so happens that they’re both Blend sponsors! Totally coincidental…but I guess these could also be called Blend Bites!

So here’s the deal. I love yogurt and granola mixed together. Usually I mix them together and put them on my oatmeal…but summer’s coming. And i’m not a huge fan of hot oatmeal when it’s hot out. So I decided I needed a new way to eat my favorite snack.

I’ve heard that you can freeze Chobani, but I’d never tried it. Until yesterday.

Yesterday I dumped a container of Chobani in a bowl, added some LGF granola and stirred it all up. Then I spooned the mixture into an ice cube tray and stuck it in the freezer.

After a few hours, out popped some frozen yogurt granola bites. As I was munching on one I decided some chocolate would really kick things up a notch. So I grabbed some chocolate chips, melted them and dipped my cubes in the bowl one at a time.

Then I put a picture on instagram (are you following me? theleangreenbean) & twitter to taunt you guys!

These Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites are sweet enough for dessert and healthy enough for a snack!
And then I made you wait until today for the “recipe”. That wasn’t very nice was it?

Well here it is. You need exactly 3 things:

Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites

Keywords: snack dessert greek yogurt granola no bake

Ingredients

  • 6 oz  Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 – 3/4 c  Granola
  • 1/3 c dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Mix the yogurt and granola together and spoon into ice cube trays.

Freeze until set.

Remove from ice cube tray and dip in melted chocolate.

Freeze until set.

Enjoy.

So easy!

Friends, go make these now!

These Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites are sweet enough for dessert and healthy enough for a snack!

Also, some of you have asked what programs I use to play with my pictures. The one above was done in picassa….the two below were done with ipiccy.

Because really, every once and while you just need something a little more exciting than this:

These Chocolate Dipped Frozen Yogurt Bites are sweet enough for dessert and healthy enough for a snack!

 

Anyways, my mind is already spinning with what to do for my next batch. I think i’m going to put a banana slice between the yogurt and the chocolate. Or maybe stick an almond in the middle of each one. If I’m feeling adventurous, I might even try putting the melted chocolate on the top before even sticking them in the freezer! That would be easiest, if I could get them out of the ice cube trays without breaking the chocolate.

Oh, and because I know someone will ask…yes I did try coating one entirely in chocolate. It worked, but it wasn’t easy. The cold cubes make the chocolate sieze up and it was just a lot more work. I think dipping is the way to go for sure.

Enjoy!

    Those looks so good! This may be a silly question, but I’ve wanted to try freezing greek yogurt before (like over raisins) and I’ve always wondered if the yogurt melts back to its original form? Like do you have to eat them right out of the freezer?

    Reply
    • Lindsay says

      May 3, 2012 at 10:04 AM

      It definitely starts melting after a little while. They’re pretty hard when you first take them out but after just a few minutes, they start to soften. I don’t know how long it takes for them to soften completely, but I would guess not all that long.

      i don’t 100% love it. it doesn’t let you move the pictures around as much as I’d like when you put them in collages…like once you put the picture in a collage, it doesn’t let you really pic what part of the pic you want to show (at least not as much as i’d like) but there are some cool effects and fonts and I like that you can make collages.

      it definitely takes some getting used to. definitely start with a flavored kind and mix something in like granola or dried fruit. then I started mixing a couple spoonfuls of flavored with some plain and now i eat mostly plain with granola and fruit mixed in!

    Brilliant! I made an experimental batch of granola the other day and it’s not very sweet but it will be perfect in this recipe. I am thinking Black Cherry Oikos Greek yogurt and chocolate will be like a chocolate covered cherry. I love the idea of banana slices, too. Great creative possibilities… Key lime yogurt with kiwi slices? Yum…
