I came across a recipe for honey Chobani-covered frozen blueberries on their official blog and oh my god, they look DELICIOUS!

They’re incredibly simple and easy to make — you only need two ingredients and about 5 minutes of prep time — plus they’re uber healthy to boot. WHAM.

The Chobani coating is extremely high in muscle-building protein and probiotics, which help the digestive process, as well as a solid dosage of calcium and vitamin D.

Blueberries are an absolute nutritional powerhouse that pack numerous uber-healthy vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including:

  • Fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K
  • Pterostilebene and Resveratrol - antioxidant compounds that lower LDL cholesterol (bad), blood sugar, and blood fats, which are major risk factors for heart disease and type-2 diabetes.¹  Resveratrol is also common in red wine and grapes
  • Anthocyanin — a powerful antioxidant that prevents brain aging, reduces inflammation, and increases skin health. Anthocyanin gives blueberries their deep blue color

 

Ingredients:

  1. Fresh blueberries — Don’t feel contained to just blueberries. Try out the same recipe with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, sliced peaches, sliced apples, etc. Peaches and cream? Yes, please! The possibilities are pretty much endless — get creative with it.
  2. Chobani greek yogurt - Chobani’s official recipe calls for the honey flavor, but feel free to choose any variety and experiment with the taste. Honey, blueberry, and vanilla flavors all seem like logical ideas, but I’m always down to get a little funky with mango or raspberry.

 

Steps:

  1. Wash and rinse the blueberries until dry
  2. Dip each berry into the Chobani flavor of your choice and place them on a plate, cutting board, etc.
    • Pro Chobani tip - use a toothpick for a smooth outer coat and maximum coverage
  3. Freeze for about an hour
  4. Enjoy
