FAQs
How long will these Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Drops last in the freezer?
They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 2 weeks when stored properly in an airtight container.
Can I use non-dairy yogurt for this recipe?
Yes! You can use almond, coconut, or soy yogurt as a substitute for Greek yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free.
Can I make these without honey?
Absolutely! If you prefer a less sweet snack, you can skip the honey or use a different sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar.
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Fresh blueberries are ideal for this recipe because they hold their shape well when topped on the yogurt. If you use frozen blueberries, they may break apart and make the yogurt drops a bit messy.
Are these yogurt drops healthy?

Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded coconut, granola, or dark chocolate chips to enhance the flavor and texture of the yogurt drops.
Can I make a bigger batch?
Yes! If you need to make a larger batch, simply double or triple the ingredients and use multiple baking sheets. Make sure each drop has enough space to freeze properly.
How do I make these more kid-friendly?
For a kid-friendly variation, use a sweeter yogurt (like vanilla) and smaller blueberries for easier handling.
What’s the best way to serve these?
Serve them straight from the freezer as a cool snack or dessert. They can also be added to smoothie bowls or eaten alongside a fruit salad.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Drops can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for a few weeks, making them a perfect make-ahead snack.
