Key Ingredients

Greek Yogurt (1 cup, full-fat preferred)
Thick, creamy, and protein-rich. Full-fat gives better texture when frozen.

Fresh Blueberries (½ cup)
Naturally sweet and antioxidant-rich. Frozen berries also work.

Sweetener (1–2 tbsp)
Use monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose for low-carb. Honey works if not keto.

Vanilla Extract (¼ tsp)
Adds warmth and dessert-style flavor.

Optional: Lemon Zest (¼ tsp)
Brightens flavor and enhances blueberries.

Optional: Chia Seeds (1 tsp)
Adds texture and omega-3 boost.

2. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Add Blueberries & Freeze

3. Gently fold in blueberries.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Spoon small dollops (about 1 tbsp each) onto the sheet.
