Frozen Yogurt Covered Blueberries

There’s a lot of literature supporting the benefits of eating a serving (1/2 cup) of berries a day. While all berries are award winning little powerhouses of nutrients, there is one berry that wins the blue ribbon – BLUEBERRIES. Blueberries are the richest in antioxidants which protects our cells from damage and helps keep us looking young and healthy. Eating plain blueberries is one of my favorite snacks but for something a little different frozen yogurt covered blueberries takes things to a whole new dimension!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 8 oz. container plain fat free yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions:

  1. Mix yogurt and honey together
  2. Line a shallow container with parchment paper
  3. Using a toothpick, dip blueberries in the mixture then place on the parchment paper in a single layer
  4. Freeze until solid (minimum 1- 2 hours. Pop the berries off the parchment paper and place in a covered freezer safe container. Enjoy immediately or store until ready to snack on.
Dipping the blueberries in the honey-yogurt mixture
Assembled on a parchment paper lined container. Overlapping the berries will create little clusters.
This is the first time I am using my honey harvested in early October. Honey, technically, is not considered a whole food nor is it considered vegan. It is predominantly sugar – although not an added sugar. For this reason I seldom use it, and when I do, it is in small quantities. The only approved whole food sweeteners are date sugar, date syrup or molasses.
What a delicious little snack and super easy to make!

Hi everyone! It's no secret. I'm pretty addicted to eating clean and leading a healthy lifestyle. I am a registered nurse and chronic condition educator (diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, obesity & COPD). Nothing excites me more, personally and professionally, then helping others take control of their health. It really is a passion of mine. That's why I created this blog! When I am not in the kitchen creating healthy eats or digging through scientific literature, I enjoy hiking, biking, gardening and spending time with hubby Dennis. Oh and I am a mother to a loud mouthed parrot named Pickles, a 20 year old black cat named Charlie and about 50,000 honey bees.
