Nutritious Chocolate-Coated Blueberry Greek Yogurt Clusters

A delicious dessert that’s good for you, too? That’s exactly what these Chocolate-Coated Blueberry Greek Yogurt Clusters are! This recipe is a Registered Dietitian’s take on the viral yogurt clusters, with Greek yogurt, blueberries, and walnuts – all coated in a yummy chocolate shell.

Sweet-tooth-satisfying and healthy, too!

If you know me, you know I love finding a way to sneak nourishing ingredients like Greek yogurt into healthy dessert recipes that actually taste good. I do this in my popular chocolate peanut butter greek yogurt bark and my healthy homemade fudgesicles. So when I saw the viral recipes fro chocolate-covered Greek yogurt bites circling on TikTok, I knew I had to make my own.

Of course, I wanted to put my own spin on them, so I used blueberries (I’ve seen a lot of people make them with strawberries and raspberries) and added chopped walnuts for extra nutrition and crunch. The result? A crisp chocolate shell that surrounds the rich and creamy Greek yogurt filling with sweet blueberries and crunchy walnuts. Don’t forget a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for that sweet n’ salty vibe!

The key ingredients and why they’re good for you:

• The main ingredient is Greek yogurt, which is high in protein so it will fill you up and keep you full. There are differences between Greek yogurt vs regular yogurt, the main one being the protein content, which is why I use Greek yogurt here.
• Blueberries pack a nutritional punch in our yogurt clusters. They add fibre, which supports gut health and will promote good digestion. The fibre in our little berries will also help to stabilize blood sugar levels, which is helpful as this is a sweet treat recipe. They also add powerful antioxidants to this recipe, which protect against cell damage from free-radicals.
• Walnuts add healthy fats. In addition to texture and crunch, adding walnuts to these yogurt clusters also adds a healthy dose of polyunsaturated fats – including omega-3s! Omega-3 fatty acids have been associated with things like cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and eye health, and many of us don’t eat enough of them. So adding them in to our yogurt clusters is a great way to sneak them in.

Making the clusters:

Ingredient substitutions:

• You can really use whatever fruit you like. Think blueberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries, chopped cherries, sliced banana, and more!
• If you’re a walnuts-in-desserts-hater, you can totally leave them out. Or you can substitute them with whatever nuts you prefer (like chopped pecans, almonds, or peanuts).
• I like to use plain Greek yogurt and add sweetness to it with maple syrup, but you can use a flavoured greek yogurt (like vanilla) if that’s what you typically buy and omit the maple syrup.

Storage: Because this recipe makes 10 clusters, it’s a great recipe to prep for a sweet snack all week long! I recommend storing them in the fridge for the best consistency. Store in an airtight container, and separate the layers of yogurt clusters with parchment paper as needed so they don’t stick together.
