Ingredients (12 serving bites)
- 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt — plain, high-protein
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 1–2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener, such as stevia or monk fruit, to taste
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp chia seeds — optional, for extra fiber
- 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut — optional
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Coconut cream preparation
- Wash the blueberries & dry them with a cloth. Lightly crush about half of them with a fork while leaving the rest whole.
Step 2: Mixing the yogurt
- In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add bluberries
- Fold the crushed and whole blueberries gently into the yogurt mixture. Avoid overmixing so you retain some beautiful blueberry swirls.
Step 4: Make the Bites
- Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Spoon approximately 1½ tablespoons of the mixture into 12 small mounds or silicone mini-molds.
Step 5: Adding the topping
- Sprinkle a small amount of unsweetened shredded coconut over the bites, if using.
Step 6: Adding the topping
- Place in the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.
Step 7: Adding the topping
- Remove the bites from the freezer and let them sit for 2–5 minutes before eating. Enjoy cold and creamy!

Glycemic Index (GI) Considerations
- Blueberries have a relatively low glycemic impact compared with many sweeter fruits.
- Choose plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt avoids the added sugar commonly found in flavored yogurt
- Using a zero/low-calorie sweetener instead of sugar keeps the carbohydrate content lower.
- Adding chia seeds can increase fiber and may help make the snack more filling.
Portion Control Tips
- Keep the bites small and consistent—about 1½ tablespoons each.
- Start with 1–2 bites per serving rather than eating directly from the freezer container.
- For a more substantial snack, pair 2–3 bites with a small handful of nuts for additional protein, fat, and satiety.
- Avoid adding honey, maple syrup, or regular sugar if you’re aiming to keep the recipe low in added sugar.
