Vanilla Pomegranate Bites

We’re back and it’s the FIRST Foodie Friday of 2018! Woohoo! Now, I know we’re all going to be getting into the healthy eating groove so, with that in mind, I decided to whip up a healthy snack to keep us all on track! These Vanilla Pomegranate Bites are SO YUMMY! Not only are they easy to prepare, they taste like FRO-YO! My kids went bananas over them. They make a great after dinner treat, a perfect snack for after school, or even a quick breakfast bite when you’re begging your kid to just. eat. something. (Anyone else have that problem?)

Vanilla Pomegranate Bites

• Your favorite yogurt flavor. I LOVE Yoplait’s Oui Vanilla yogurt. It’s so rich and decadent.
• Pomegranate arils (seeds). You can buy just the arils or grab a pomegranate since they’re in season.
• Ice cube tray or silicone mold tray

Alright guys, the hardest part of this recipe is getting the arils out of the pomegranate! I like to use a bowl of water to peel them out of the pith. It’s so easy! The seeds sink to the bottom and the pith/peel floats to the top. No juicy mess all over your counter!

Simply add the yogurt to your mold. Give it a few taps on the counter to make sure there are no air pockets. Press a few pomegranate seeds into the yogurt until they’re mostly covered. Next time I make these, I might add a few seeds before adding the yogurt so there’s even more goodness in each bite!

Stick the molds in your freezer. It’ll take a few hours to completely freeze. Pop them out of the mold and try not to eat them all in one sitting! The yogurt is soft and creamy and the pomegranate is, of course, a nice burst of juicy tartness. They pair so well together.

I love the little surprise bite of pomegranate in the frozen yogurt. It’s the perfect healthy treat!

The silicone mold I used is from Amazon, but like I stated before, you can use a regular ice cube tray too! Once you take them out of the mold, stick them in a ziploc bag and keep them in the freezer. Grab one whenever you need a quick treat!
