how to make Easy Frozen Yogurt Bites

Ingredients:

1 cup THICK Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (*see notes)
3 tbsp cashew butter or almond butter (*see notes for subs)
3 tbsp maple syrup (*You can add another tbsp if needed.)
3 tbsp of your favorite protein powder (*totally optional! Don’t use if you don’t love your protein powder.)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Good pinch of sea salt (*I love Maldon or Celtic salt)
Handful of cacao nibs (*optional. Can always add in other mix-ins! But cacao nibs are packed with antioxidants)
3/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1/2 tbsp coconut oil

Directions:

Mix together the frozen yogurt mixture: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, nut butter, sweetener (maple syrup), optional protein powder, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, thick, and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Divide it amongst your mold: Pour the yogurt mixture into your selected mold, filling each compartment about two-thirds full.
Melt the chocolate: In a small bowl, add the coconut oil and chocolate. Use the double-boiler method or microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each time, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Fill the bites: Spoon a bit of melted chocolate on top of each yogurt-filled compartment, filling the last third of each space.
Freeze: Place the mold in the freezer for 3-4 hours. Once frozen, remove the yogurt bites from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw for a few minutes for the best creamy texture.
