Strawberry Quinoa Yogurt Chocolate Bites in hand

Indulging doesn’t have to mean settling for processed chocolates and sugary desserts. This week’s recipe, Strawberry Yogurt Chocolate Quinoa Bites, offers the perfect balance between decadence and nutrition.

With crispy toasted quinoa, creamy yogurt, sweet organic strawberries, and rich dark chocolate, these bites are perfect for a date-night dessert, a festive snack, or even a little midweek treat just for you.

Plus, they’re packed with nutrients that support gut health, hormone balance, and energy levels — a treat you can actually feel good about!

Let’s dive in.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup chopped organic strawberries
1 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (I used coconut for a dairy free option)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup toasted quinoa
1-2 cups dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Drizzle of olive oil

Importance of Organic Strawberries

Strawberries consistently rank on the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) The Dirty Dozen list, meaning they’re one of the most pesticide-contaminated crops on the market. Because of this, it’s crucial to buy organic in order to avoid ingesting harmful chemicals, including several that have been “linked to cancer and reproductive damage.”

A Healthier Treat

Sweet doesn’t have to mean unhealthy. While most store-bought Valentine’s Day treats are packed with refined sugars, preservatives, and artificial flavors, this recipe comes with natural ingredients. Strawberries, dark chocolate, and yogurt are all natural sweeteners that keep these bites guilt-free.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cook quinoa according to directions on the package. Once cooked, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cooked quinoa in a single layer. Drizzle olive oil on top.
Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until browned.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, vanilla, and strawberries. Mix together.
Once quinoa is done, fold into the yogurt mix.
Scoop mixture into balls and place on top of parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 1-2 hours minimum.
When you are ready to dip them in chocolate, add the chocolate chips to a small bowl and add in coconut oil. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals until melted.
Remove the yogurt cluster from the freezer and dip each one in the chocolate until they are coated. Once all clusters are dipped in chocolate, place back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, you can store these in the fridge! Enjoy!
