Servings & Timing
- Servings: 8–10 bites
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Freeze Time: 2 hours
- Total Time: 10 minutes + freezing
Ingredients List
- 1 cup keto-friendly yogurt (unsweetened, like full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut milk yogurt)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsp Swerve powdered sweetener (or your preferred sweetener)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, Swerve powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 2: Add the Blueberries
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to mash the berries too much; you want them to stay mostly whole for texture.
Step 3: Shape the Bites
Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds, mini muffin tins, or spoon into small bite-sized portions on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can shape them into small rounds if you’re not using molds.
Step 4: Freeze
Place the tray or molds in the freezer and allow the bites to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 5: Serve
Once the bites are frozen, remove them from the molds (if using) and transfer them to a storage container. Serve immediately or store in the freezer for a refreshing, high-protein snack.
Additional Notes
- Add-ins: You can mix in other keto-friendly ingredients like chia seeds, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Sweetener Options: If you don’t have Swerve, you can use stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol. Adjust the amount based on the sweetness of your preferred sweetener.
- Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative, like coconut milk yogurt or almond milk yogurt, to make these bites dairy-free.
