Frozen Vanilla Yogurt Bites Recipe
If afternoons hit and you’re craving something cold and a little sweet, but you don’t want to end up in a full ice cream spiral, these are such a good middle ground.
I started making these frozen vanilla yogurt bites on a whim one day, mostly because I had yogurt I needed to use and kids asking for snacks every five minutes. And now they’re one of those things I keep in the freezer all the time!
They’re creamy, a little crunchy, naturally sweet, and feel like a treat without the added sugars; a win-win in my book!
Also, if you have kids, this doubles as an activity. Mine think they’re decorating dessert 🙂 Here is my simple recipe for you to enjoy!
Why You’ll Love These Frozen Yogurt Bites
- They actually keep you full: Between the Greek yogurt and optional collagen, there’s enough protein here to make this healthy snack more than just a quick sugar hit. I notice I’m way less snacky after eating a few.
- Sweet, but not too much: The fruit does most of the work, which I like. It’s sweet without feeling over the top.
- You get that crunch + creamy combo: The granola on top is key. It makes them feel way more like a “real” snack.
- Easy to tweak depending on what you have: Different fruit, different granola, dairy-free yogurt, it’s hard to mess these up, just use what you and your family love!

Frozen Vanilla Yogurt Bites Recipe
Servings: 18
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time: 2-4 hours
Total Time: Up to 4 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Greek vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granola (your favorite kind)
- 2 scoops collagen (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a bowl, mix the yogurt and collagen (if using) until smooth.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoon-sized dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet, spaced apart.
Top each bite with a few blueberries, strawberry slices, and a sprinkle of granola.
Freeze for 2-4 hours, or until firm.
Serve immediately, or store in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- If your freezer runs really cold, let them sit out for a minute or two before eating
- If you’re using plain yogurt, you might want to add a little honey or maple syrup
- Don’t overthink the portions, uneven bites still taste the same!
Storage
Just keep them in a sealed container in the freezer. They’ll last a couple weeks, but honestly they disappear way before that over here!

Make It Your Own
- Swap in raspberries, mango, or banana slices
- Add chia seeds or hemp hearts for a little extra fiber
- Use dairy-free yogurt if that’s what you need
- Let your kids add toppings themselves, it somehow makes them more likely to eat them! Even if that is dye free sprinkles 😉

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek vanilla yogurt and collagen, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Using a spoon, drop 2–3 tablespoon dollops of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Top each yogurt dollop evenly with blueberries, sliced strawberries, and a sprinkle of granola.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 2–4 hours, or until completely firm.
- Once frozen, remove from the baking sheet and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
-
For cleaner, thicker bites, freeze the yogurt mixture for 10–15 minutes before adding toppings. This helps prevent fruit and granola from sinking into the yogurt.
