how to make Blueberry Swirl Yogurt Bites

Ingredients:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh blueberries (divided)
2 tablespoons honey (divided)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
0.5 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
0.125 teaspoon fine sea salt
0.75 cup granola (optional)

Directions:

Start by blending half of the fresh blueberries (about 1/2 cup) in a small bowl until smooth. You can mash them with a fork or use a blender if you want it creamier.
Mix the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), and fine sea salt in a larger bowl. Stir until it’s well combined.
Take a silicone ice cube tray or muffin tin and fill each compartment with the yogurt mixture, about halfway full.
Spoon a little of the blueberry puree on top of the yogurt in each compartment. Use a toothpick or a small knife to swirl the blueberry puree into the yogurt for a nice pattern.
If you like, add some granola on top of the yogurt mixture for added crunch and flavor.
Place the tray in the freezer and let the yogurt bites freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.
Once frozen, pop the yogurt bites out of the tray. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
