Those who love to snack know that sometimes, making your own snacks is a lot more satisfying. Completing the task releases dopamine and increases happiness, and it is typically a lot healthier than store-bought snacks. With that in mind, consider yogurt-covered snack recipes if you want something easy to make at home!
As the summer season approaches and we aim to maintain a healthy diet, looking for new recipes is common. These recipes can range from granola bars to frozen yogurt bites, making it easy for everyone to find something they will love. Here are five yogurt-covered snack recipes that you can make in the comfort of your home!
1. Granola Bars
For moms who love to pack granola bars in the kids’ lunches, consider this recipe for no-bake granola bars with yogurt covering. You’ll want to grab an unsweetened, low-fat Greek yogurt for this yogurt-covered snack recipe, as it calls for you to sweeten it yourself. These granola bars are much healthier than store-bought bars and provide an activity for you and your children to do together!
2. Yogurt Covered Cranberries
If you love the yogurt-covered cranberries you can purchase at the store, you’ll love this recipe even more! You’ll need a few cups of cranberries, dairy-free Greek yogurt, honey, powdered sugar, and gelatin. Follow the recipe, and then use half of the yogurt mix to coat the cranberries. Save the rest for the second coating after letting the first coat sit for at least 30 minutes.
3. Frozen Yogurt Bites
Fruit and granola are common elements people love to add to their yogurt, and now you can have the same textures in a frozen yogurt bite! The recipe is pretty simple: just cut up your fruit, make your yogurt mixture, and add your granola. Pour the mixture into ice trays, add the fruit on top, and set it in the freezer overnight. By morning, you’ll have the perfect fro-yo bites!
4. Chocolate Yogurt Clusters
If you are looking for something sweet and healthy, look no further. These chocolate-strawberry yogurt clusters are not only healthy but also require only six ingredients. All you need is low-fat yogurt, strawberries (or a fruit of your choice), honey, vanilla extract, chocolate, and coconut oil. Melt your chocolate, mix everything else, and then make clusters. Pour the chocolate over the clusters and let them sit in the freezer.
5. Yogurt Covered Blueberries
For those who love the idea of yogurt-covered cranberries but aren’t a big fan, consider yogurt-covered blueberries! As you can imagine, this recipe is even more simplified and great for kids. Grab a dairy-free yogurt, honey, and blueberries. Mix everything in a bowl, grab the blueberries out of the mixture, then pop them in the freezer. Leave them to freeze for at least an hour.
These yogurt-covered snack recipes are perfect for the summer months, work lunches, and weekend snacking. They require minimal effort but have a great-tasting reward! Happy snacking!
