Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 1 cup thick, Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries (or any other fresh fruit)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter (or any nut/seed butter)
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Flaky salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine the yogurt, sunflower seed butter, protein powder and vanilla in a small bowl. Fold in the strawberries.
    Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to scoop the mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Each bite is about 2 rounded tablespoons in size, making 10-12 bites.
    Place the bites in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm. The bites need to be fully frozen in order to dip them in chocolate.
    Once the bites are frozen, melt the chocolate and coconut oil. You can either melt the chocolate in the microwave at 20 second intervals, or over the stove top on low heat.
    Remove the bites from the freezer and dip them, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. You can use two forks to roll them around in the chocolate until covered, or hold each bite with a fork over the dish and spoon over the chocolate letting any excess drip back into the dish.
    Place the dipped bites back on the lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with flaked sea salt. The salt is optional, but adds a nice flavor and crunch.
    Once all of the fillings are dipped, eat immediately or place back in the freezer.
    Storage: keep these protein bites in an airtight container or baggie in the freezer.  They are best eaten within one month.  When ready to eat, defrost the bites for 5-10 minutes to soften.
