# Instructions:
01 -
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites from sticking and make them easy to remove once frozen. Set aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
03 -
Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder and 1/4 cup peanut butter powder into the yogurt mixture. Mix until no lumps remain and the base is thick and creamy.
04 -
Gently fold in 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup finely chopped dry-roasted peanuts, 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 tbsp chia seeds. Distribute the toppings evenly throughout the mixture for delicious High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites.
05 -
Using a small cookie scoop (about 1.5-2 tablespoons) or two spoons, drop 16 even portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave a small space between each bite.
06 -
Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites are completely solid. This ensures they hold their shape.
07 -
If desired, melt 1 tbsp dark chocolate with 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Drizzle over the frozen bites and sprinkle with 1 tbsp flaky sea salt. Return to the freezer for 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate.
# Notes:
01 -
Store the frozen bites in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. They are best enjoyed straight from the freezer.
02 -
Feel free to swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate, or adjust the maple syrup to your sweetness preference. Any nut butter can be used in place of peanut butter.
03 -
Using natural creamy peanut butter (just peanuts and salt) is crucial for the best texture and flavor. Avoid brands with added sugars or oils for optimal results.
04 -
These bites are perfect as a quick breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a healthy dessert. Let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes for a slightly softer texture, if desired.
