What you’ll need
Here’s a handy ingredient list to get you started:

You can easily substitute fresh strawberries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor twist!
Directions to follow
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Combine diced strawberries and Greek yogurt in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well until smooth.
- Scoop the yogurt mixture drop by drop onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. This recipe should yield about 8 yogurt bites, each roughly 2 inches in size.
- Freeze the baking sheet with yogurt bites for about 30 minutes or until they are solid.
- Melt the chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl, add coconut oil (if using), and melt in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between sessions until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool for 3-5 minutes.
- Dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are fully coated, and return them to the baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt.
- Allow the bites to sit for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden. Enjoy your delicious creation!
