Ingredients
  

3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges or rounds

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 tablespoon honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup granola or chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by thoroughly washing the peaches under running water. Halve each peach, discarding the pit, and slice them into 1-inch thick wedges or rounds. Set aside.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla bean paste, fresh lemon juice, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

      Coat the Peaches: Take each peach slice and dip it into the yogurt mixture, making sure it is generously covered. Alternatively, you can use a spatula to evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the peach slices.

        Transfer to Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the yogurt-coated peach slices on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are spaced apart and not touching each other.

          Add Toppings: If you’re using granola or chopped nuts, sprinkle them over the yogurt-coated peach slices for added texture and crunch. This step adds a delightful contrast to the creamy yogurt and juicy peaches.

            Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the peach bites to freeze for approximately 2-4 hours, or until the yogurt coating is firm and the peaches are completely frozen.

              Serve: Once frozen, take the peach bites out of the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for about a minute to soften slightly before enjoying. These delightful bites make a refreshing, healthy snack or dessert that you can savor guilt-free!
