Instructions

Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the blueberries for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gently mash the blueberries to release their juices and create a thick sauce. Once done, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Mix the Yogurt Base: While the blueberry sauce is cooling, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup (if using) and vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt) in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Create the Swirl Effect: Spoon small amounts of the cooled blueberry sauce into the yogurt mixture and use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the sauce through the yogurt, creating a marbled effect without fully mixing it in.
Shape and Freeze: Using a spoon or silicone molds, scoop bite-sized portions of the swirled yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly into molds. Place them in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve and Store: Once the bites are fully frozen, transfer them to an airtight container and keep stored in the freezer. Enjoy them directly from the freezer as a refreshing and healthy frozen snack anytime.

Notes

You can use plain or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt according to your preference.
Honey or maple syrup is optional and can be omitted to reduce sugar content.
Ensure the blueberry sauce is cooled completely before mixing with yogurt to prevent melting.
Silicone molds can make shaping the bites easier and more uniform but are not necessary.
Store the bites in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
