This 5-Minute Treat Will Change Snack Time Forever: Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites

There’s something special about frozen Greek yogurt bites — they’re cold, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet to make every bite feel like a little treat. As a dietitian and long-time fan of balanced eating, I love finding healthy ways to satisfy a sweet tooth without giving up flavor. These chocolate peanut butter combinations mixed with banana create a post-meal treat that’s perfect for both dessert lovers and anyone following a mindful diet. Each piece is filled with protein and healthy fats, keeping things balanced while still tasting indulgent — like a mix between a fudgy brownie and berries in a frozen form.

I often make these during the summer months, especially when I need an easy recipe that’s low maintenance yet satisfying. They’re a go-to for meal-prepping healthy snacks, and I always keep a few on hand in the freezer. Whether it’s a quick bite after dinner, a mid-day craving, or a little moment of fun on hot summer days, these frozen Greek yogurt bites are my favorite way to stay healthy while enjoying a sweet treat.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Banana Base

Slice the banana into thin rounds and set them aside. These will become the sweet, fruity center of your frozen yogurt bites.

2. Mix the Yogurt Layer

In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth. This creates a creamy, naturally sweet layer full of protein and probiotics.

3. Add the Peanut Butter Goodness

Warm the peanut butter slightly if needed, then drizzle or gently mix it into the yogurt mixture. You can swirl it in for a marbled look or fully combine it for a uniform peanut-butter flavor.

4. Assemble the Bites

Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Add a small spoonful of the yogurt mixture, top with a banana slice, and cover with another small dollop of yogurt. Repeat until all pieces are assembled. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top if using.

5. Freeze Until Firm

Place the bites in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until fully frozen and set. They should pop off the parchment easily once solid.

6. Prepare the Chocolate Coating

Microwave the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 15–20 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and melted. The coconut oil helps the chocolate harden beautifully.

7. Dip or Drizzle

Remove your frozen bites from the freezer and quickly dip each one into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the top. The cold yogurt will instantly harden the chocolate into a crisp shell.

8. Freeze + Enjoy Anytime

Freeze again for 10–15 minutes to set the coating completely. Enjoy immediately, or store for later healthy snacking.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 banana
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt vanilla
• 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup peanuts chopped (optional)
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon  coconut oil

Method

 

1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the banana and mash it well using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
2. Add Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and chopped peanuts to the bowl. Mix everything together to combine into a smooth, creamy filling.
3. In a small bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each round until the chocolate is melted and smooth. (You can also use a double boiler if you prefer.)
4. Pour about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each silicone ice cube tray cavity. Use a spoon to gently press the chocolate along the walls of the tray until fully covered, then place it in the freezer for about 5 minutes to set.
5. Once the chocolate has hardened, fill each mould with the peanut butter yogurt filling (around 2 tablespoons, depending on the size of your tray). Drizzle a thin layer of melted chocolate on top, then spread smooth with a spoon while it’s still fluid, not thick.
6. Freeze for about 2 hours until firm. Store in the freezer, and when ready to serve, enjoy straight from the freezer or let them thaw 2–5 minutes on the counter before eating.

Notes

Depending on the size of your ice cube tray, you may have more or less frozen yogurt bites.
The type of Greek yogurt will effect how creamy these yogurt bites are. A higher fat yogurt, such as 5%, will result in a less icy consistency.

FAQs

1. Can I make these bites dairy-free or vegan?

Yes! Replace the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt, use a nut-free butter alternative if needed, and choose dairy-free chocolate chips. They still freeze beautifully and taste naturally sweet.

2. How long do these yogurt bites last in the freezer?

Store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. They keep their creamy texture and make the perfect grab-and-go healthy dessert.

3. Can I make this recipe lower carb or keto?

You can! Swap the banana for raspberries or strawberries, use unsweetened Greek yogurt, sugar-free peanut butter, and keto chocolate chips to create keto-friendly frozen yogurt bites.

4. Do I have to coat them in chocolate?

Not at all. You can skip the chocolate entirely for a lighter, lower-calorie snack. Or drizzle just a tiny bit for a balanced, healthier version.

5. What other mix-ins can I add?

Chia seeds, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, or mini chocolate chips are delicious additions. You can also add cinnamon, cocoa powder, or honey (if not sugar-free).

6. Are these good for meal prep?

Absolutely! These bites are freezer-friendly, portion-controlled, and perfect for prepping a healthy treat you can enjoy all week long.
