No-bake frozen treats combining Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and protein powder for a nutritious snack.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dairy & Protein

01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, 2% or 0%)
02 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder

→ Fruit

03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced

04 - 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
05 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of fine sea salt

07 - 1/2 cup dark or white chocolate chips

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup if using, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
03 - Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
04 - Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out 1-tablespoon mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm to the touch.
06 - Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals until smooth. Dip each frozen bite in chocolate or drizzle over the top, then return to the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
07 - Transfer bites to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
