Yogurt covered blueberries
I took two cups Dannon Oikos greek yogurt (blue cup) honey flavor and one carton fresh blueberries. Stick a berry with a toothpick and dip/swirl in the yogurt cup and use a second tooth pick to push it off onto a cookie sheet. Do all of them and place in the freezer. After an hour you can pop them off the cookie sheet and into a plastic baggie. I got 3 sandwich bags full :)

Those look good! Do they melt really quickly though? Or would they make a good toddler snack?
ReplyDeleteYes they melt fairly quickly. 5 minutes in a bowl left out will melt the yogurt back to it's original state. These are meant to be eaten frozen and quickly. My 5 year old can manage it, but not my 2 year old :)
ReplyDeleteWe had fun this weekend picking blueberries with our families and were looking for recipes. Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try this with my daughter, she will love helping me. I've shared your link on our site with Little Hands that Cook with Books and Blueberries. http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2012/05/30-ways-to-eat-blueberries.html
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be greek yogurt, or can you use any yogurt?
ReplyDeleteI imagine that regular yogurt would be quite watery. Greek yogurt is nice and thick, plus it's much higher in protein!
DeleteI wonder if strawberrys would work good too??? Have you tried them?
ReplyDeleteI've done strawberries and it works just wonderful! I cut them in half but I've heard of using them whole. I use vanilla with the strawberries :)
DeleteI just tried strawberries and I cut them in 1/2in pieces. Yummy!
DeleteCool idea! I'll try it :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this. I bought too many blueberries and need to have a quick way to freeze them before they go bad on me.
ReplyDeletejust fyi re blueberries- they are the most freezable food... dont wash, just pop the whole container into the freezer. i buy them up when on sale and freeze immediately so i have berries all year long. (if youre going to keep them longer than a couple weeks, transfer to a zip lock after theyre frozen)they will be soggy if defrosted so use them frozen and rinse as you toss them onto cereal or ice cream, into pancakes or muffins.
DeleteHow long will the blueberries last when you freeze them in the ziplock bags??
DeleteA good way to freeze blueberries is to wash them and lay them flat to dry completely. Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze, doesn't take long. Then put them in a freezer bag and back in the freezer. They are washed and ready to go when you need them and they will not stick together so you can grab a handful at a time.
DeleteYou should always wash your fruit before eating. Blueberries last for at least 3-4 months.
DeleteHi, I just made 2 blueberry pies with berries picked & frozen in 2010.
Deletecould you use fat free plain Fage greek yogurt and add honey to it?
ReplyDeleteyes I used the Fage and added honey. Worked fine
ReplyDeletegreat snack.
Do you think you could start with a frozen berry to dip, then freeze the yogurt on top?
ReplyDeleteWould absolutely LOVE to do this with raspberries! Thanks for sharing! So simple and sounds delicious! Can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if blackberries would be good with the honey yogurt.
ReplyDeleteI made blueberries and blackberries with a honey vanilla Greek yogurt, they were both delish
DeleteI used low carb regular (non-Greek) yogurt (vanilla) and it worked really well.
ReplyDeleteWow this is genius. Am trying these out later today thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteJust made a batch of these! Can't wait to taste how they turn out. I'm assuming they must remain in the freezer and not the refrigerator or they would melt back to yogurt. I doubt they'll last long in our house though!
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried this, they had developed a strange coating after being frozen. Any ideas? I was going to try covering the baking sheet, so they're not exposed to the air?
ReplyDeletemine too.... what to do?
DeleteIt looks simple and yummy. I have to try it in august when I could find blueberries in the mountains.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Taste soooo goood!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an awesome substitute for the deadly late evening ice cream snack.
ReplyDeleteLook at what u started woman! Lol. I think ur original recipe sounds best and will be trying it Ty sooooo much. Oh and I LOVE your blog name. Supercool!
ReplyDeletethese are great! I made them yesterday but used vanilla Greek yogurt. it took a while and my hands ended up all blue, but they're an amazing snack!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! In a moment of weakness, I committed to buying a quart of blueberries a week until they were gone, and I need some easy ideas of how to use them. As much as I love them, I get tired of just eating plain after awhile.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loved this - My publix was out of blueberries so I got raspberries instead, and dipped them in regular blueberry yogurt. Had no issues with the consitiensy compared to greek yogurt.
ReplyDeleteI made these today. MMMMM!good stuff!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have any idea how many servings this recipe yields? I am trying to log this into my nutritional log, but I needed a "serving size."
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
MMMMM!good stuff! Quite impressive
ReplyDeletefrozen yogurt
Do you mean serving of fruit? If so, she said she used one carton. Most cartons are a pint which is two cups. A serving of fruit is usually half a cup, so this makes four servings.
ReplyDeleteSo I am looking for good low calorie low (real) sugar desserts to make for my gf on valentines.
ReplyDeleteShe wants to eat healthier so i gotta find anything thats healthy haha.
. Any kind of suggestions?.

mmm looking forward to trying these, ate a little too much on my holiday :O oops
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe out! I put my own little spin on it since I'm not a honey fan. I also used the ingredients that I had on hand!
ReplyDeletehttp://fitandfrugirl.blogspot.com/2012/08/frozen-vanilla-yogurt-covered.html
These were very, very sour when I made them. I used super sweet blueberries and sweet honey yogurt, and any trace of sweetness disappeared. Not what I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteMine did the same, and were not easy to eat completely frozen...after sitting out a few minutes they were a little better, but to long and they melt...
DeleteMy 4 year old kid (his name is Jariel) helped me with creating this recipe. I really like ho he smiled while we were doing this and I think We will do it again. Thanks much!
ReplyDeleteSo yummy! Thanks for the idea!!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea I will try them and also with strawberries
ReplyDeletemmm I made these with frozen blueberries and strawberry greek yogurt... now I need to make more because my husband loved them so much, he ate them ALL :) Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea! Definitely trying this! Thanks!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous idea! Definitely trying this, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI stuppled upon ur fantastic idea on pinterest. I 1st had these when I bought a bag of them at the airport on my way to Hawaii in September. Howver since Ive been back I have been looking at ever grocery store to find them. But I havent. So now I can make them myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific afternoon snack. Thanks for sharing. Trying to eat healthier; these will help.
ReplyDeletePeggy
if you freeze the berry 1st it will last longer when you eat them, with the yogurt on them
ReplyDeletelooks great! thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks tasty! You can choose any kind of berry right?
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! Pinning!
