Vanilla Frozen Yogurt Bites
Creamy frozen yogurt bites coated in chocolate are fun to make, delicious to eat, and full of simple and healthy ingredients, and pretty too. Protein packed, no-bake, and perfect to stash in your freezer to grab whenever the craving for a special 'something' hits. Whether you are looking for an easy, any time sweet snack, or a delicious dessert, these fro-yo bites are the answer. All you need are a handful of ingredients to create them: yogurt, almond flour, honey, peanut butter and vanilla extract. And of course some chocolate to melt and coat these bad boys. You can use dark or milk chocolate, white chocolate or a mix if you like. They come together in only 10 minutes - just make sure to give them plenty of time to chill in the freezer so that they set completely. Make them the night before, then enjoy the easiest snack the next day. I prefer to use plain yogurt - with honey and vanilla for flavor and sweetness - instead of a pre-flavored yogurt to control the sweetness. But flavoured yogurts add flavour and colour if you prefer them. This recipe is a simple and quick way to transform yogurt into the yummiest healthy dessert or snack. I love serving nutritious ingredients in all sorts of ways and these frozen yogurt bites have become a fun snack we turn to in my house often. This is how you turn yogurt into a finger food. Frozen yogurt bites are a healthy and delicious snack idea that can be made in just a few minutes using yogurt as the base. You can then add some optional mix ins or toppings like fresh fruit, mini chocolate chips, or colorful sprinkles.These easy healthy frozen yogurt bites are packed with protein and probiotics and are great for a frozen ice-cream-like treat. At 50 calories and 6g of protein per serving, you can feel great about snacking on these and giving them to your children.Making these is also a fun activity that parents and children can do together!They are so yummy ;kids love them, and adults love them as well.

Chocolate Coating
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50% power with 30 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.Remove the bites and after checking they are firm and set, pop out of the ice cube tray.Dip each cube by lowering it into the melted chocolate quickly on a fork. Allow excess to drip off and line cubes on a rack or parchment paper. Store in freezer and let thaw for 15 minutes before eating so the inside is nice and creamy.
