Peanut Butter Strawberry FroYo Bites (Vegan High-Protein)
These easy, vegan and high-protein Peanut Butter Strawberry FroYo Bites are the perfect summer snack. They are no-bake and made with 6 basic ingredients and take just 10 minutes to make.
Summer is officially on the way and when the sun comes out, all I want to make is summery recipes, like these frozen yoghurt bites which taste like ice cream, chocolate and PB&J in every bite. They are made with good-for-you ingredients and also have gut health benefits, too, as we are using fermented yoghurt. The rest of the recipe comes together in one bowl, sets in the freezer and then dip these clusters into dark chocolate for the best little snack or dessert this summertime.
I made these in collaboration with Michelle of @run2food on Instagram and have tweaked her recipe, as she uses peanut butter protein powder, which isn’t as common. I also added strawberries instead of raspberries and added the coconut oil to the melting chocolate so that they are shinier and set more quickly.
Why will I love these?
These bites are amazing:
- Chocolatey, fruity, peanut buttery
- Fresh, creamy and rich
- Made with real fruit
- High in protein thanks to the protein powder
- Great for gut health from the fermented coconut yoghurt
- A natural sauce of healthy fats
- Covered in dark chocolate
- Easy to make in 10 minutes
- Ideal for summer (and all year round)
- Great to make with little ones
- Delicious for snacks or desserts
- Can be made with other fruits and other flavoured proteins
If you already love the sound of these summery bites, then skip ahead to the recipe card below. Or, first let’s discuss the recipe in more detail.
What ingredients do I need?
You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card and you can see my favourites in the “shop the recipe” section below.
Here are the ingredients:
- Thick coconut yoghurt: use a good quality yoghurt like Cocos which only contains a few ingredients and is naturally full of live bacteria and is therefore great for the gut.
- Runny smooth peanut butter: this adds the peanut butter flavour into every bite. To make these peanut-free use almond or cashew butter or swap for tahini or sunflower seed butter to make these nut-free.
- Vanilla protein powder: I use the Form vanilla protein powder which is my favourite here.
- Strawberries: slice these and add on top of the yoghurt mix and allow to set. You can try these with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries or apple slices.
- Dark chocolate: you can use your favourite bar, chips or buttons of dairy-free chocolate. I like dark but you can use dairy-free milk chocolate, too.
- Coconut oil: add this to chocolate as it melts so that the chocolate sets shinier, more quickly and it’s then less likely to crack.
- Freeze-dried strawberries: these are optional, but I love sprinkling them on top and a little goes a long way.
Are these gluten-free and nut-free?
These are gluten-free and to make the bites nut-free, swap the peanut butter for tahini or sunflower seed butter and check your chocolate and yoghurt for nuts.
How do I make them?
These are easy to make in a few steps:
- Mix together the yoghurt, peanut butter and protein powder: until smooth.
- Spoon onto a tray: in rounds.
- Top with sliced strawberries: and freezer for 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil: in a small bowl.
- Dip each FroYo bite in the chocolate: flipping over to cover all the sides.
- Place on a tray and sprinkle with freeze-dried strawberries: and they’ll set in a minute or so.
How long will they last?
Once made, keep these in the freezer for 1 month, wrapped well for frozen bites, or for softer yoghurt bites, keep them in the fridge for 3-5 days, in a sealed container.
What else can I make?
