Hello, fellow snack lovers! It’s the last month of summer and with temperatures still soaring, we all need some chilly treats to beat the heat. So, I’ve got a tasty recipe that will satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you feeling guilt-free: Chocolate Strawberry Bites!
These little bites are not only delicious but they’re also packed with nutrition. Let’s dive into the mouthwatering details and learn how to make them!
Ingredients:
5 Large Strawberries
1 Cup Coconut Yogurt (or Greek yogurt if you prefer)
1 Scoop Protein Powder (I used vanilla protein powder by Ritual)
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
1 8oz package of chocolate chips (I used Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips by Lakanto but you can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer)
Optional: Himalayan Sea Salt (add to the top of the treats to bring out the flavor of the chocolate)
Directions:
Begin by mashing the strawberries, creating a luscious base for your bites.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir it up until you have a creamy and protein-packed mixture.
Now, scoop the delightful concoction onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Keep them small (about the size of a quarter.
Time to freeze! Pop the pan in the freezer for about an hour, allowing your bites to set.
Chocolate Coating:
Once your bites are frozen, it’s time for the grand finale – the chocolatey coating! Melt some dark chocolate either in the microwave or using a double boiler technique.
Generously cover each frozen cluster with melted chocolate, giving them that irresistible allure.
Place the chocolate-covered bites back in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the coating perfectly.
PRO TIPS:
As tempting as they look, frozen treats can be quite chilly on the teeth! So, let them thaw slightly for around 5 minutes before you indulge. I made mine too large this time around, so I had to chop them up into bite-sized pieces (about the size of a quarter) before snacking on them.
Not only are these bites a delightful indulgence, but they also come with a range of health benefits. The yogurt is a great source of probiotics, the chia seeds offer a good dose of fiber and protein, while the strawberries are rich in Vitamin C and other antioxidants. Moreover, using monk fruit chocolate adds a sugar-free twist to this recipe.
So, what are you waiting for? Dive into these Chocolate Strawberry Bites and let them become your go-to frozen snack.
Enjoy!
