If you love that classic chocolate and peanut butter combo but want something a little more nourishing, these Chocolate Covered Yogurt Peanut Butter Protein Bites are about to become your new fridge staple.

They are creamy, peanut buttery, lightly sweet, protein-packed – and coated in a smooth layer of chocolate that sets into the perfect snap. Think peanut butter cheesecake meets chocolate truffle… but made with balanced, wholesome ingredients you can feel good about.

At Blended Bites, we believe healthy treats should feel indulgent, not restrictive. These bites are the perfect example. They taste like dessert, but they are built to support steady energy, curb cravings, and keep you satisfied.

The centre is where the magic begins.

Greek yogurt adds a creamy tang and boosts the protein content while keeping the texture light. Combined with natural peanut butter, it creates a rich, smooth filling that is soft but structured once chilled. Vanilla protein powder blends seamlessly into the mixture, adding staying power and a subtle sweetness without overpowering the peanut butter flavour.

A touch of maple syrup enhances the sweetness naturally, while a pinch of sea salt balances everything and makes the chocolate coating pop even more.

The result? A thick, creamy dough that rolls beautifully into bite-sized balls and firms up perfectly in the freezer before dipping.

Then comes the chocolate coating.

Once dipped into melted dark chocolate, these bites transform. The outer shell hardens in the fridge, creating that irresistible contrast between creamy centre and crisp chocolate exterior. It’s the kind of texture combination that makes you pause after the first bite.

They are perfect as:

A post-workout protein boost
A healthy dessert alternative
A mid-afternoon energy snack
A meal prep sweet treat

Because they are protein-rich and contain healthy fats, they help prevent the sugar spike-and-crash cycle that typical chocolate snacks often cause. You get the indulgence – without the slump.

Like all Blended Bites recipes, these are flexible. You can use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based protein powder to make them fully dairy-free. Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter. Add mini chocolate chips to the filling for extra indulgence, or drizzle extra chocolate over the top for a bakery-style finish.

They store beautifully in the fridge and can also be kept in the freezer for longer storage. In fact, they’re especially delicious slightly chilled – creamy inside, firm outside.

If you are someone who craves chocolate and peanut butter regularly (and honestly, who doesn’t?), these protein bites are a balanced way to enjoy that flavour combination while still supporting your goals.

Simple ingredients. No baking. Big flavour. Creamy centre. Chocolate snap.

These Chocolate Covered Yogurt Peanut Butter Protein Bites prove that healthy snacking can still feel completely satisfying. ✨

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Protein Filling

• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons chocolate chips -optional
• Pinch of sea salt

Chocolate Coating

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

• In a bowl, mix peanut butter, yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth and thick.

  If mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm.

  Roll into 14-16 bite-sized balls and place on a lined tray.

  Freeze for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Chocolate Coating

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Working quickly, using two forks, dip one bite at a time into the bowl of melted chocolate until it is fully coated. Lift the bite from the bowl of chocolate and let any excess drip off, then place it onto a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining bites.

  Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 

  Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, then chill until chocolate has set.

  Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
