Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into wedges

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla for flavor)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjustable based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 vanilla bean pod, split with seeds scraped out (optional for enhanced flavor)

1 cup granola or crushed nuts (for a delightful coating)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by rinsing the peaches under cool water to clean them thoroughly. Slice each peach into wedges, carefully removing the pits. Set the prepared peach wedges aside.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, your choice of honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean pod, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully blended and the mixture is smooth.

      Coat the Peaches: Take each peach wedge and dip it into the yogurt mixture, ensuring that each wedge is generously coated. Allow any extra yogurt to gently drip off to avoid excess.

        Add the Topping: Roll the yogurt-coated peach wedges in your choice of granola or crushed nuts, making sure they are completely covered on all sides for a crunchy texture.

          Freeze the Bites: Arrange the coated peach wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart to prevent them from freezing together.

            Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the peach bites to freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once fully frozen, you can transfer the peach bites into a sealed container for long-term storage. Enjoy these refreshing treats directly from the freezer whenever you need a cool snack!
