Strawberry Yogurt Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.Add the vanilla protein powder and strawberry powder. Mix thoroughly until you have a thick, creamy mixture. If it seems too soft to shape, add a little extra protein powder or strawberry powder.Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop the mixture into small balls using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Place them on the tray and gently shape with your hands if needed.Place the tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until the bites are firm enough to dip into chocolate.
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.Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return to the parchment-lined tray.Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries before the chocolate sets, if desired.Return the bites to the freezer for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate coating has hardened. Enjoy straight from the freezer, allowing them to soften for a couple of minutes for the creamiest texture!Store Strawberry Yogurt Protein Bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Keep them frozen until ready to enjoy.Blended Bites Tip: Protein powders vary in thickness and absorbency. If your mixture is too soft, add extra protein powder a tablespoon at a time. You want a thick mixture that holds its shape when scooped.
