Frozen Yogurt Berry Snack

This frozen yogurt berry snack has become my go-to healthy treat when I want something sweet yet refreshing on hot afternoons or when snack time hits. The recipe combines creamy strawberry yogurt and ripe berries for a burst of flavor in every bite and comes together with just a handful of ingredients. It is perfect for prepping ahead and keeping in your freezer for whenever cravings strike.

I started making this snack as an easy grab-and-go treat for my kids before school, and now we all look forward to making new combos. It is one of those recipes that everyone can help with in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• Blackberries: fresh or frozen add a tangy zing and beautiful color choose berries without soft spots for the best flavor
• Raspberries: give a juicy sweetness look for plump red berries to avoid sourness
• Almond milk: helps thin out the mixture so it is creamy and scoopable unsweetened works best to let the fruit shine
• Strawberry yogurt: brings creamy texture and berry flavor choose Greek for extra protein or any style you love

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Berries:

Take a fork and gently press down on the raspberries and blackberries until they are slightly crushed but still have some chunks. This allows their juices to mix with the yogurt without turning everything mushy.

Mix Everything Together:

Combine the crushed berries with the strawberry yogurt and almond milk in a medium bowl. Stir well until all the ingredients are smoothly blended for a creamy and even texture.

Fill the Trays:

Using a spoon transfer the mixture into ice cube trays filling each one about three-quarters full. This makes the bites just the right size for snacking and gives them room to expand as they freeze.

Freeze Until Firm:

Place the trays in your freezer and leave for at least three hours or until the yogurt mixture is solid and does not stick to your finger when touched.

Store for Snacking:

Once frozen gently push the yogurt bites out of the trays and move them into a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Store them in the freezer so you can grab one or two whenever you need a quick refreshing snack.

Raspberries are my secret favorite for these bites because they add just the right tartness. My kids love squishing the berries before mixing everything together so this always feels like a family project.

Storage Tips

Once the yogurt bites are fully frozen transfer them to a freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn and keep them tasting fresh. Use a container with a tight seal and do not leave them loose in the freezer or the texture can become icy. They keep best if used within a month though we always seem to finish them much quicker.

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap the berries for whatever is on hand like blueberries or chopped strawberries. Coconut or oat milk can stand in for almond milk if you prefer. For the yogurt any berry flavored or vanilla yogurt works beautifully so use what you love most.
