Selecting the right strawberries is crucial for the success of your Frosty Strawberry Bliss Bites. Look for strawberries that are firm, plump, and vibrant red in color. Avoid any that appear dull or have white or green patches, as these are likely underripe. It’s also important to check for any bruises or soft spots, which can indicate overripeness. When you find the perfect strawberries, here’s how to prepare them:

Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain for a classic taste or your favorite flavored variety)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on the sweetness of your yogurt)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (can be store-bought or homemade for a personal touch)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut for an attractive topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries:

    - Begin by washing the strawberries under cool running water. Hull them to remove the green tops, then slice each strawberry in half. Set them aside on a clean kitchen towel to dry.

      Make the Yogurt Mixture:

        - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or spoon to mix until the ingredients are smooth and evenly incorporated.

          Assemble the Bites:

            - Take a strawberry half and gently dip it into the yogurt mixture. Ensure the strawberry is entirely coated, using a spoon to help cover any areas that need more yogurt.

              Add Granola:

                - After coating the strawberry in yogurt, immediately dip the top half into the granola. Press down gently to ensure that the granola adheres well to the yogurt.

                  Prepare for Freezing:

                    - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully place the yogurt-dipped strawberries on the prepared sheet, giving them space to freeze without sticking together. Repeat the process until all strawberry halves are coated and placed on the sheet.

                      Optional Toppings:

                        - For an extra flair, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut on top of each yogurt-covered strawberry before freezing. This adds a delightful texture and flavor.

                          Freeze:

                            - Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the strawberry bites to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the yogurt is firm to the touch.

                              Serve:

                                - Once fully frozen, remove the strawberry bites from the baking sheet. Enjoy these delightful treats right away, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week for whenever you crave a sweet, refreshing snack.
