A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES

Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Frozen Yogurt Filling (Added Protein Version)
  • ¼ cup runny peanut butter (ingredients should just be peanuts and maybe salt)
  • 1 cup yogurt of choice (I use coconut yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder of choice 
Frozen Yogurt Filling (No Added Protein Version)
  • ½ cup runny peanut butter (ingredients should just be peanuts and maybe salt)
  • 1 cup yogurt of choice (I use coconut yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • ¼ tsp salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp peanuts (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine all of your filling ingredients and stir together until fully incorporated.
  2. Line a baking sheet or flat plate with parchment paper.
  3. Scoop about ¼ cup of the filling and make four circles on the parchment lined sheet or plate. Press a popsicle stick into each circle if you wish, or leave it as is. If using a popsicle stick, be sure to cover the stick with the filling.
  4. Sprinkle peanuts over the top and press them in gently.
  5. Freeze for 2 hours.
  6. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment.
  7. Once melted and smooth, use the chocolate to completely cover each frozen yogurt bar.
  8. Place each coated bar back on the parchment to allow the chocolate to harden.
  9. Enjoy right away or keep in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Notes:
  • You can make these into any size you want, you can use a popsicle mold, make them into bite sized pieces, really whatever you’d like!
  • Once super frozen, you may need the treats to thaw slightly or pop into the microwave for 10-15 seconds (if you’re impatient like me!)

            Natural peanut butter is made from peanuts and a bit of salt sometimes. I use Smackers, the big jar. I stir it to get a creamy consistency when I first use that jar. Little stirring is required to keep it smooth after initial blending.

    I’m so excited to try these. I put them in a cupcake tin because it was a little thin.
    Not sure if it because I used cashew milk yogurt and I added more protein to mak a bit thicker. I lined the with tin cups, added little chocolate on the bottom, froze, then the yogurt mixture, froze and topped with more chocolate and nuts. Thanks for this great treat 😊

      Ingredients such as the coconut oil and peanut butter are just generic/whatever I see at the store, but specific products I recommend are already linked in the blog post in the “products” section.

    When you say coconut yogurt -could you explain. Coconut flavored or yogurt made with coconut milk? You find that at a health food store. Thank you! Can’t wait to make these!

    Great recipe and idea Kayla!

    I made mine with vanilla greek yogurt, and drizzled the chocolate on. Greek yogurt was a bit tangy, so I’d recommend normal yogurt instead.

    The servings are pretty big, so I also recommend making 8 instead of 4.

    Thanks Kayla!

      I don’t cook with canola or peanut oils so I cannot recommend them. I would just leave out the coconut oil. It makes the chocolate silky and smooth, but the chocolate alone will still be delicious!

    I didn’t read every comment (cos WOWEE you got a LOT! )Beo sorry if I’m repeating, but what if a chick just eats regular food from a regular grocery store…could I use Peter Pan or Jif with Dannon Yogurt (reg, not Greek style) and Nestle Dark Chocolate mini morsels? You got really narrow with one person who asked for a protein powder sub, so I wasn’t exactly sure how crazy we could get while still technically making the recipe. 🤔

      Oh my gosh yes, of course you can use what works for you! I make recipes with dietary needs in mind (both my own and others) so that is the reasoning for listing certain ingredients. Plus, people ask for specific brands and products so that’s what I give them! You are absolutely welcome to use the ingredients you have on hand. Keep in mind using different ingredients in a recipe can sometimes change things (for example, regular yogurt is thinner than Greek), but yours should turn out fine!

    Made these yesterday. Very easy and pretty yummy. I did add the protein powder but probably won’t next time. I always find it leaves an aftertaste and it did with these as well. So I think without it (nice to have that option) these would be even better. I also found my serving a bit big. So next time I will make them smaller and maybe make 6 bars.

      Definitely only use a protein powder that you like the taste of, or else of course it won’t turn out how you may be hoping! Opting to leave it out next time sounds like your best bet. Serving sizes are so subjective, and sounds like 6-8 may be a great fit for you! Enjoy!

    Hi Kayla!
    These sound delightful and I can’t wait to try them but I have a different peanut butter question than the others. I noticed the quantity of peanut butter is higher in the non-protein frozen yogurt filling versus the protein recipe. I’m neither a great cook or very experienced with cooking with protein powder but it seems that those quantities should be reversed OR the amount of peanut butter should be the same in each of these recipes. Are the recipes correct as written or did I find a typo? Thanks!

    Reply
    • kaylaskitchandfix

      June 13, 2023 at 2:25 pm

      Nope, it’s not a typo! The protein powder changes the texture of the filling, so when it is not used there needs to be more of the peanut butter to better hold the shape. The recipe is written correctly. Enjoy!

I’m hoping it’ll still work out though, and I’m so excited to make these!

    I’m nervous about coco oil because I think it may be the cause of breakouts as well as avo and sunflower oil… anytime I eat something with coco oil in it o get red splotches for a week or more, unfortunately. Is there another option or could you do without the coco oil?

    Thank you for this recipe. I made the protein version and they came out perfect. I used have coconut yogurt and half plain Greek. I liked the tang from the Greek & the flavor from the coconut. Great combo. I also used natural Laura Schudders peanut butter. Family LOVED them. This will be my go-to treat all summer!

    The first time I made these I used plain Greek yogurt and natural peanut butter and added some Sweet Leaf vanilla stevia drops. I used a melon baller and scooped them into a silicone mini muffin pan to freeze. It made about 14 balls. They turned out well! After dipping them in chocolate I keep them in the freezer and then when I want to eat one I let it thaw for about an hour. Making my second batch today with regular peanut butter thinned with almond milk.

    I made these with light and fit vanilla yogurt and a tablespoon of protein powder. Love it! Used semi sweet choc chips too. I filled up ice tube trays with the bites instead of making them on a stick.

    I have a question- mine were great a few hours after I made them but today they are rock hard! Literally could not bite them, I managed to slice them in half with a knife. I haven’t seen anyone else comment about this? Is my freezer too cold? Ice cream doesn’t get hard in my freezer.

      Glad you loved these! In terms of them being frozen, that’s totally normal as they aren’t actually ice cream and they don’t have any additives or anything in them! I pop mine in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or let it thaw slightly after freezing for more than a few hours. I also notice certain parts of my freezer are colder than others, and my freezer is extra cold so things realllllly freeze. Enjoy!

    These are great, my husband and I love them including my young granddaughter’s! The 1st time I made them was for Valentines Day and made heart shaped pops using a pastry bag which were a big hit with the family. Now I also add chopped strawberries and make bite size nuggets. YUM!!! They are pretty much a staple in my freezer so thank you:)

    Made these with what I had on hand, cashews instead of peanuts, a mixed nut and seed butter instead of just peanut butter, vanilla Greek yogurt and the protein powder I had was salted caramel flavor. Doubled the recipe and they were so good. Pleased a crowd! Next time I think I will try with pistachios as well. Some I made on the stick were too big, these are hefty and can get away with smaller portions!

      It’s likely the yogurt you are using! Can I ask what you used?
