As a dietitian, this is the kind of Greek yogurt dessert I keep in my freezer at all times and I hope you enjoy it too. 😊
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the Greek yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet at a time until all the mixture is used. To make it easier, use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop. Place the bites in the freezer for about 4 hours.
Once the Greek yogurt bites are frozen, add the chocolate chips and avocado oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate chips by heating in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring well in between, until it's fully melted.
Dip the frozen Greek yogurt bites in the melted chocolate until they are coated in chocolate. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate coating.
Hint: The hardest part of this recipe is coating the Greek yogurt bites in chocolate. To make it even easier, simply drizzle the melted chocolate on top. It might not look quite as pretty, but it'll taste just as good!

Notes
Expert Tips
Be sure to stir the chocolate really good between 30 second intervals in the microwave to ensure the heat is evenly distributed.
Be careful when dipping the bites in the melted chocolate to coat them! I use a spoon to do this.
If using sea salt on top, add it before the chocolate dries.
Storage
Freezer - Store frozen Greek yogurt bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let them sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to let them thaw a bit before eating.
Dietitian TipDesserts get a bad rep sometimes for being something reserved for special occasions. Instead of restricting yourself from eating sweets altogether, watch your portions and make healthier versions like this. These yogurt bites contain protein from the Greek yogurt, heart-healthy fats from the nut butter, and antioxidants from the dark chocolate.For more nutrition information and tips, visit mallorythedietitian.com.
