Blueberry Greek Yogurt Bites | Healthy Morning Bites Snack

Directions

1. Prepare the Blueberry Compote
   In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and optional honey. The tremendous aroma of cooking berries will fill your kitchen as they begin to soften. Let the berries cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and release their juices. Mash lightly with a spoon to achieve a jam-like consistency.

2. Cool the Compote
   Once thickened, remove from heat and mix in chia seeds if using. They’ll help create a slightly gelled swirl once frozen. Allow the compote to cool completely to prevent melting the yogurt in the next step.

3. Make the Yogurt Base
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and creamy. This base should taste deliciously rich. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, especially if your yogurt is particularly tangy or you want a dessert-like flavor.

4. Assemble the Bites
   Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin tray or ice cube tray, filling roughly ¾ of the way. This is where the magic happens! Add ½ teaspoon of the cooled blueberry compote on top of each yogurt portion. Use a toothpick, skewer, or the tip of a knife to gently swirl the compote into the yogurt, creating a marbled effect. Keep the swirls gentle for a pretty two-toned look that is visually appealing.

5. Freeze
   Place the tray flat in the freezer and allow the bites to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm. The longer they freeze, the more body they will have—this is the secret to a tremendous texture.

6. Serve & Store
   Carefully remove the bites from the silicone molds. If using a harder mold, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to make unmolding easier. Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving, let them thaw slightly for 2–4 minutes to reach the perfect creamy consistency.
