These little Blueberry Greek Yoghurt Bites are undoubtedly one of those recipes that seem like they were created for hectic days.
A friend suggested making frozen yoghurt bites as a quick snack, which is how I initially got the idea. I was interested because, to be honest, I enjoy dishes that seem like tiny treats yet involve very little work. I chose to give them a try one weekend, and they vanished far more quickly than I had anticipated!
