Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey (or use maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

Zest and juice from 1 large lemon

1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen blueberries can be used as well)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola (optional topping)

Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Using a spatula or whisk, mix until everything is well combined and the mixture is creamy and uniform in consistency.

    Incorporate Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the yogurt mixture. Take your time to avoid mashing the blueberries, ensuring they remain intact for delightful pops of flavor in each bite.

      Portion into Cups: Using a spoon, distribute the yogurt and blueberry mixture into silicone cupcake molds or small cups. Fill each cup approximately 3/4 full to allow room for expansion as they freeze.

        Freeze the Cups: Place the filled molds or cups in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

          Release and Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the cups from their molds. If you're having trouble releasing them, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds to help loosen the cups.

            Add Toppings: Just before serving, sprinkle a small amount of granola on top of each frozen cup for added crunch and texture. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to enhance presentation and freshness.

              Enjoy: These Frozen Lemon Blueberry Greek Cups are a delicious snack or light dessert, perfect for a refreshing treat on warm days!
