Why You’ll Love These Strawberry Yogurt Dots
What makes strawberry yogurt dots special is their irresistibly fun format—think of them as healthy, melt-in-your-mouth “candy” that’s actually packed with protein and natural sweetness. Kids love the colorful dots, and adults appreciate the fresh flavor and nutritional boost. The recipe is highly customizable: swap in different berries or yogurt types to suit your taste.
Essential Prep and Blending Tips
For perfectly smooth and creamy dots, start by blending your strawberries and yogurt until completely silky. This step ensures each dot has the right texture and consistency, preventing those pesky lumps.
A high-powered blender makes this part of the recipe a breeze. If you want effortless blending and a consistently smooth puree, rely on the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black. It makes quick work of strawberries, ensuring your mixture is velvety and pours easily.
Making and Piping the Dots
Once blended, transfer the mixture to a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the tip snipped off), then pipe small dots onto a lined baking tray. Even spacing is key so the dots freeze quickly and retain their shape. To prevent sticking, line your baking sheet with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll—this makes dot removal effortless and keeps cleanup to a minimum.
Chill the tray in your freezer for at least one hour or until the dots are firm and easy to peel off the paper.
Serving, Storing, and Packing Your Dots
Once your strawberry yogurt dots are ready, serve them straight from the freezer for the ultimate refreshing treat. They store beautifully in a lidded container—something like the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup)—to keep them fresh and prevent freezer burn.
If packing for lunches or snacks on the go, the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green is a stellar option, as it provides ample space and is leakproof, ensuring your dots stay perfectly chilled until mealtime.

This recipe yields about 75–100 strawberry yogurt dots, depending on the size you pipe. Each 10-dot serving contains around 45–55 calories, providing a satisfyingly sweet and healthy snack option.
