When it comes to summer, especially here in Brooklyn, I think most people are about eating light and healthy foods that keep them from feeling heavy. Fruits are especially welcome on a hot summer’s day, as long as they’re cold, or my favorite way – frozen.
If you’ve ever bit into a frozen grape, you know just how a little time in the freezer can turn a simple grape into a sweet and creamy frozen snack. Chocolate-dipped frozen banana’s are another popular guilt-free delicacy. And then there’s the fruit-filled ice cubes, and the all-fruit Popsicle blends. But have you ever tried a Greek-yogurt-covered-frozen-blueberry?
Frozen blueberries are good enough on their own, but dipped in vanilla Greek yogurt, they’re simply outstanding. The yogurt freezes to form a creamy coating over the blueberries, making it the perfect snack on a hot summer day. Once you give these delicious frozen treats a try, you’ll be dipping everything from apricots to raspberries in your favorite Greek yogurt flavor. So have fun, get creative and enjoy the best that summer has to offer!
Blueberry Frozen Yogurt Bites
1 container vanilla Greek yogurt
1 pint blueberries (or your favorite fruit for freezing)
toothpicks or spiral dipping tool
Method:
Wash blueberries and drain. Working one at a time, dip the blueberries into the yogurt (with a toothpick or dipping tool) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you are using toothpicks, you can use a second toothpick to help slide it off. Freeze the blueberries for 1-2 hours, remove them from the baking sheet and place them in a Ziploc bag. Return to the freezer and keep frozen until ready to eat.

My daughter loves frozen blueberries. Going to have to try this recipe with her!
I’m not really a fruit person, but this is such an awesome idea. I might have to try it with cookie bites!
Love your healthy take on a sweet treat. Thanks for the great idea.
This looks amazing!! I love fruit and the yogurt takes this to another level. I don’t think a pint would be enough, I can imagine these get addicting
genius! and what is that tiny blueberry spoon you’re using for dipping?
I got it with a chocolate confections set – it’s made for dipping truffles in chocolate!
I was just thinking the same thing. Boy is it hot out! Time for some frozen fruit! Looks yum.
These sound like the perfect snack, and so easy to make!
