A nutritious, great alternative to ice cream sandwiches, these simple to make, and delicious to eat Guilt Free Indulgence Bites will have you looking for excuses to take a “me-moment”! And the star of the show…Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Vanilla Bean Yogurt

guilt free ice cream inspired indulgent bites

I have been trying hard to stick to some of my resolutions, and one of them is eating less junk when snacking. Especially at night. I am pretty good when my kids are around, but after I put them to bed it is a different story! When I have a little kid-free me-moment I usually get a little wild, and by wild I mean I eat junk food!

The other night I ate an entire bag of cookies. Myself. Mindlessly munching. It is a real problem.

I like how all that junk food tastes, but hate all the rest. I figured something had to give, and it wasn’t going to be my me-time indulgence, it just had to be what I was indulging on.

One of my favorite treats are ice cream sandwiches. When I was a kid my mom used to hide ice cream bars in the freezer in our garage and I would catch her hiding out there eating them. Haha I swore I would never do that. I lied. Only for me it is ice cream sandwiches instead of bars. I hide them. And hide to eat them.

Basically I regularly hide from my children. #Momwin

Anyway, I wanted ice cream sandwiches, but wanted them to be guilt free. Sounds hard to accomplish right? Wrong! After a little trial and error I found a way to make 4 ingredient, totally guilt free, indulgent “ice cream” sandwich bites that I could feel good about eating! Here’s what I used:

4 ingredient indulgence

Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt is awesome for making these little guilt free indulgent bites. Not only does it taste just like ice cream, it is a good source of protein (7g), has less sugar than other yogurts, and is absolutely delicious. Basically it is just the right amount of wrong. And when combined with these totally awesome guilt-free “cookies” I will show you how to make, you get an “ice cream” sandwich that has all the flavor and none of the guilt. You won’t regret this sweet little indulgence.

And Müller® is offering a coupon for take $1 off 5 Müller® Yogurts (offer valid from January 4 – February 15, 2015). The coupon can be found in your Jan. 4th Sunday paper! Such a good deal, so be sure to check it out!

making energy bitesThe “cookies” are made by food processing dates, nuts, and some dark chocolate and then pressing them into bars, shapes, etc. You can use whatever nuts you like best. I used peanuts because I love chocolate and peanut butter together. These are great because they are sweetened with dates (not sugar), and have lots of protein!

date energy bitesYou make the centers using the same mold, just fill it with the yogurt, and pop it in the freezer until it sets up!

frozen yogurt bitesThen assemble! It really is that easy! Plus you can make a nice big batch and put them in your freezer to grab whenever you feel like it, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or sometime in between!

And you can change up the flavors too. You can use different nuts, add in some flavor oils, or use a different flavored yogurt in the center. The Müller® Ice Cream Inspired Yogurt comes in 3 flavors: Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla Bean, and you can find it at Walmart! It is new, so you may have to look for a bit. It is in the dairy section, and can be found by the puddings and breakfast yogurts!

    I was on this campaign and couldn't do it cause I couldn't find the ice cream inspired yogurts anywhere. What walmart did you find these at? These little bites look delicious! (I was going to make grilled peaches, your nectarines look delicious too!)

    Could you just put date mixture into 8x8 pan then top with yogurt and freeze that way? Or roll date mixture out like cookie dough, cut with cookie cutter and place on wire rack then pour yogurt over cutouts and freeze that way?

      Fran You definitely can do it that way! Thank you for asking. I love the silicone molds because they are so easy to work with. If you are going to put it in an 8x8 pan I would suggest using parchment paper or something so it is easy to remove and cut into bars!
