When it comes to making desserts, you will usually find me in the kitchen baking up something extra sweet and full of calories like my Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes with Kahlua Cream Cheese Frosting. I am still a sucker for a nice fruit dessert, even one that is a little bit better for you than the dense richness of a chocolate cake. Fruit and yogurt are 2 of my favorite “healthy” snacks. When I can pair them together to make a creamy and delicious dessert as simple as this Better For You – Strawberry Jell-O Yogurt Snack Bites, I am completely and 100% Â satisfied.
I remember when ever we would have family cook outs, or get togethers one of my beautiful aunts would make a Jell-O pie using yogurt and cool whip all mixed together in a graham cracker shell. As delicious as it was, I was trying to come up with something a little more on the healthy side with smaller portions. That is how the Strawberry Jell-O Yogurt Snack Bites were created.
Here is how we made them …
Â
Ingredients:
- 3 6oz. cups Strawberry Banana yogurt (or 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 3oz. package Strawberry Jell-O
- Toppings (cool whip, granola, fresh fruit, candy)
Instructions:
In a microwave safe bowl, mix together the yogurt and the Jell-O.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stirring after 1 minute and at the end of the cooking time.
Pour the Jell-O yogurt mixture into cupcake liners.
Chill until firm. (1 – 2 hours)
Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Using sugar free ingredients will make this simple dessert even more figure friendly. Give it a try and let us know your favorite flavor combinations.
These delicious Jell-O yogurt snack bites are so simple to make, and the flavor combinations are endless! We have also tried vanilla + orange Jell-O, this tasted like a creamsicle to us it was fantastic! Blackberry yogurt + wild berry Jell-O. Vanilla yogurt will take on any flavor Jell-O that you love.

Printing this out and pinning it. Very creative, fun, and plus so pretty to look at.
Glad you like it Sue! I can’t wait to try other flavors. Nice and refreshing in the warmer months too… if they ever get here!
This is a dessert that would be enjoyable to eat during the 100 degree weather that we get here in SC. I love that it’s cool and good for you all at the same time. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This looks like something that took a long time to make but really it is pretty easy. Love the presentation. Looks very fancy 🙂
Thank you! I wont tell you that I shamelessly ate 2 right out of the cupcake liner with my fingers then! 🙂 Pretty and portable!
I love spring and strawberry season. My boys love all things strawberry so we will need to check this out. Thank you!
Me too! I am so looking forward to warmer weather and FRESH fruit!
Looks like something my daughter and I would enjoy. I love that you can pick the toppings and do a little topping bar. Thanks for linking up at #HomeMattersParty
