See recipe card for quantities.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Dairy-free option: Use coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt
- Lower sugar: Replace honey with stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- Different fruits: Try blueberries, raspberries, or diced peaches
- Protein boost: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder
Instructions
Mix the Yogurt Base
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract if using.
- Stir until completely smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix – you want distinct strawberry pieces throughout for bursts of flavor and color.
Pro tip: Let the yogurt sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before mixing. This makes it easier to work with and creates a smoother texture. Pat the strawberries dry with paper towels before adding them to prevent excess moisture from creating ice crystals.
Shape and Freeze
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop portions of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each bite. You should get approximately 20-24 bites depending on size.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely frozen and firm to the touch.
Time-saving hack: If you don't have a cookie scoop, use two spoons to shape the bites. One to scoop, one to push the mixture off.
Optional Chocolate Dipping
- If making frozen chocolate strawberry yogurt bites, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip each frozen bite halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for another 30 minutes until the chocolate sets.process shots cluttering up the recipe card, so include your process shots here.

Expert Tips for the Best Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Bites
Making frozen strawberry yogurt bites is simple, but a few clever tricks can take them from good to next-level delicious. These tips come from plenty of hands-on experience (and a few batches that taught me what not to do).
1. Keep it cool: Temperature plays a big role. Keep your yogurt mixture slightly chilled while working; if it gets too warm, your frozen strawberry yogurt bites may lose their shape or turn out a bit messy.
2. Scoop smart: For bites that freeze evenly and look like they came from a pro’s kitchen, use a small cookie scoop. Uniform size means better texture; quicker freezing; and a prettier presentation.
3. Block the burn: To protect that creamy texture, store your frozen strawberry yogurt bites in an airtight container with parchment between layers. This prevents ice crystals from forming and keeps each bite as dreamy as the first.
4. Think ahead: These beauties freeze like a dream, so go ahead—make a double batch. Frozen strawberry yogurt bites can be stored for up to 3 months, making them perfect for grab-and-go moments all summer long.
Creative Recipe Variations
One of the best things about frozen strawberry yogurt bites is how flexible they are; with just a few swaps, you can tailor them to fit any lifestyle or craving. Whether you’re going low-carb, plant-based, or just chasing new flavors, these ideas will keep your freezer stocked and your snack game strong.
- Keto-Friendly Fix
Looking to cut sugar without sacrificing flavor? Swap the honey for a keto-approved sweetener like erythritol or stevia; and opt for full-fat Greek yogurt. This version of frozen strawberry yogurt bites delivers creamy richness with healthy fats to keep you satisfied. - Vegan Vibes
For a dairy-free twist, use thick coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt in place of Greek yogurt; then sweeten with maple syrup. These vegan frozen strawberry yogurt bites are just as indulgent, with a subtle tropical note depending on your yogurt base. - Protein-Packed Power-Up
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the mix for an extra nutritional boost. If the texture gets too thick, stir in a splash of almond milk to keep it smooth. These high-protein frozen strawberry yogurt bites are perfect post-workout or as a midday energy boost. - Tropical Escape
Trade strawberries for diced mango; then fold in shredded coconut. You’ll get frozen strawberry yogurt bites with a tropical twist that tastes like summer in every bite—even if you're just in your backyard. - Chocolate Lover’s Upgrade
Craving something extra indulgent? Stir in mini chocolate chips and a touch of cocoa powder for a decadent variation. These chocolate-infused bites combine the goodness of strawberries and yogurt with just the right amount of richness.nk)
Equipment
Essential tools:
- Medium mixing bowl - Glass or stainless steel works best for easy cleaning
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon - A 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop creates perfectly sized bites
- Baking sheet - Half-sheet pans work perfectly for this recipe
- Parchment paper or silicone mats - Prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless
Nice to have:
- Silicone molds - For more uniform shapes, try silicone mini muffin molds
- Double boiler - For melting chocolate more gently than the microwave method
Budget-friendly alternatives: Don't have a cookie scoop? Two spoons work just as well. No parchment paper? Lightly oil your baking sheet instead.
Quick Storage & Recipe Meal Prep Tips
One reason I love frozen strawberry yogurt bites is how easy they are to store and prep ahead. If you prefer a softer texture, they’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days—just keep them covered to avoid picking up fridge odors.
For long-term storage, freeze them completely, then transfer to a sealed container or freezer bag with parchment between layers. Properly stored, your frozen strawberry yogurt bites will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
They’re perfect for meal prep—make a batch on Sunday and enjoy them all week in lunch boxes or after workouts. For the best texture, let frozen strawberry yogurt bites sit out for 5–10 minutes before eating… or enjoy straight from the freezer if you love a firmer, frosty treat.
The Secret Step That Changes Everything
When I first started making frozen strawberry yogurt bites, I followed the usual routine—blend, scoop, freeze. They were good; but not wow good. Then one day, in the middle of a rushed Sunday prep session, I forgot the mix in the fridge for half an hour before shaping it. That "oops" turned out to be my best discovery yet.
Letting the yogurt mixture rest gives the strawberries time to work their magic—melting just slightly into the yogurt and creating those dreamy pink swirls. The texture firms up just enough to make scooping easier too. Since then, I never skip this step; it’s the quiet secret behind frozen strawberry yogurt bites that are not just tasty—but unforgettable.
