Low Carb Recipe Perfect for Spring
The “holiday season” just never seems to end if you’re trying to lose weight. So many temptations every month! It seems to really begin with Christmas but then there is all that chocolate for Valentine’s Day, shamrock shakes for St. Patrick’s Day, and now here it is Easter and all those decadent recipes are in your face! Plus, the cold weather has everyone craving comfort foods to top it off.
Well, I have managed to find a way to trick myself into thinking I’m totally cheating on my diet by binging on these yummy Yogurt Bite treats, but they’re actually loaded with protein, omegas and low in carbs! Dieting is all about the mind games, isn’t it?
Great Yogurt Tarts Recipe
How-To Make Mini Crusts:
After making your crusts, the rest is easy. Just mix your yogurt and gelatin(s) together and dispense into cooled crusts.
I used a cake decorator to make the yogurt look fancier, but you can use a baggie with the corner cut off, or just spoon it on.

Greek Yogurt Bites
Then, for more fun…
If you have any yogurt left over (this is why I always make extra,) you can place drops or shapes onto wax paper and freeze for little frozen bites of yumminess! This would add more calories, but also consider trying with different flavors of pudding, too.
These would make a great dessert or snack for Easter! Sometimes you just crave a frozen treat. Instead of grabbing a pint of ice cream, snack on these frozen Greek yogurt bites.
They make for a nice, cool treat during the summer, too. Just let the frozen blob melt on your tongue for delicious goodness.
