You’re going to want to have a batch of these chocolate strawberry banana yogurt clusters stocked in your freezer all summer long!
This recipe is my take on the blueberry yogurt clusters trend that went completely viral thanks to Lemons and Lucy on TikTok. I shared my version on Instagram a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to get it up on the blog!
There are many different variations of this recipe out there, but I’m loving this chocolate strawberry banana combo… it gives me banana split vibes, which I’m here for!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Easy to make: This is an easy recipe that comes together quickly with just 7 simple ingredients!
- Perfect for summer: These frozen treats are a refreshing treat to enjoy during hot summer days.
- Customizable: Feel free to make this recipe your own!
- Kid-approved: This is a recipe the whole family will love! And it’s the perfect recipe to involve your kiddos in. They’ll love drizzling on the chocolate and sprinkling the crushed peanuts on top.
- Meal prep-friendly: Prepare a big batch and freeze for a quick sweet treat anytime.
Ingredients Needed
- fresh strawberries and banana – the fruit we’re using in this recipe. You’ll want to chop them up into bite-sized pieces so they freeze faster.
- plain greek yogurt – adds some creaminess and protein to these fruit clusters! I recommend using plain full-fat yogurt for the best results.
- honey – just a touch for some natural sweetness. The honey pairs perfectly with the yogurt and fruit.
- dark chocolate chips – we’re melting chocolate chips to drizzle over the yogurt clusters after the fruit freezes. The chocolate should harden quickly when drizzled over the frozen fruit. I used Lily’s dark chocolate chips because they are sweetened with stevia and low in sugar, but you can use any brand you prefer.
- coconut oil – helps to thin out the chocolate a bit, making it easier to drizzle.
- roasted and salted peanuts – what’s a banana split without peanuts?! I went for roasted and salted peanuts, which add a nice salty crunch that pairs perfectly with the sweet clusters.
How to Make
Make yogurt clusters: In a medium bowl, combine your chopped strawberries, banana, yogurt and honey together. Next, spoon out portions of your fruit and yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the baking sheet in the freezer for about one hour to set.
Melt chocolate: While your clusters are firming up, it’s time to melt your chocolate! Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments until melted. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
Coat clusters: When your yogurt bites are solid and the chocolate is melted, carefully drizzle each frozen cluster with the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated but not completely dipped. This method keeps the chocolate from hardening too quickly from the cold.
Top and chill: Top your clusters with the chopped peanuts before the chocolate hardens. Once all of your yogurt clusters are coated in chocolate pop the baking sheet back in the freezer until the chocolate has set.
Pro Tip!
I don’t recommend dipping the clusters directly into the chocolate because the cold cluster will cause the chocolate to harden and make it very difficult to work with. Trust me, I learned this the hard way!
Substitutions & Notes
- Fruit – If you prefer to use a different fruit, go for it! I bet any variety of berries, kiwi, pineapple, mango, etc. would all be delicious.
- Yogurt – Feel free to use flavored yogurt if that’s what you have on hand. I bet vanilla yogurt would add a nice flavor! Just be mindful of how much added sugar is in your yogurt. If you’re using a yogurt with added sugar you could probably skip the honey.
- Dairy-free – If you need these yogurt clusters to be dairy-free feel free to swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt of choice. I like the CULINA Plain & Simple Coconut Yogurt and siggi’s Plain Plant Based Yogurt.
- Honey – If you’re not a fan of honey or need this recipe to be vegan, use maple syrup instead!
- Peanuts – Don’t have peanuts on hand or have an allergy? Skip them all together or swap them with another nut like cashews, almonds, pecans or walnuts.
Variations
There are so many ways to customize these frozen yogurt clusters! I can already see myself making this recipe all summer long in different variations. Here are some ideas:
- Peanut butter banana: Mix in some peanut butter with the yogurt and fruit for more of a nutty flavor!
- Tropical: Swap the strawberries and banana with mango or pineapple chunks and instead of topping these clusters with peanuts use shredded coconut. For even more of a tropical flare, you could add a dash of vanilla extract and use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt!
- Blueberry chocolate: Use fresh blueberries instead of strawberries and banana. The combo of blueberries + chocolate is so good. Fresh raspberries would also be delicious!
- Chocolate sea salt: Instead of the chopped peanuts, add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a salty-sweet combo. I love Maldon flaky sea salt.
How to Store
I recommend storing any leftovers of your chocolate strawberry yogurt clusters in an airtight container in the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy! I’ve been using my Stasher bags for mine. When ready to enjoy, I like to grab one cluster from the freezer a few minutes before eating, just to let it soften up the tiniest bit.
These clusters will keep up to 3 months in the freezer, but I bet they won’t last that long! Don’t store these in the fridge as they’ll melt and become a big goopy mess.
Pro Tip!
Separate your clusters with a layer of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together!

I subbed SILK Vanilla Greek Style Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative in place of full fat Greek Yogurt. I also added a cup of blueberries to the strawberries & bananas, all fruit is organic. For the chocolate topping, I mix 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and put in an icing bag with the drizzle tip and then top with chopped pecans, this is mine & my husbands FAVORITE frozen treat, it’s YUMMY!!
YAY! I am SO glad you and your husband are loving this treat, Jennie. Thank you SO much for taking the time to share your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
The white stuff was a little too creamy I think it was the yogurt. Anyway to fix this? Also they wouldn’t freeze right away but that might have been my freezer. Or because it was 120 degrees outside.
Hi Anita – What type of yogurt did you use?
I am avoiding fats and sugar. Anyone try nonfat Greek yogurt and SF maple syrup??
Hi Chris – Those subs should work, but the yogurt might be more runny and not stick to the fruit as well. Let me know how it turns out for you and enjoy!
Just checked again, I must have the wrong glasses on, as doubled checked & it does say honey, sorry.
No worries, Brian. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
The very page lists maple syrup in the ingredients, but when you go to the recipe it says honey?
Do you store these in the freezer or the refrigerator after you make them?
You can store these in the freezer but let them that for a few minutes before eating. Enjoy!
Where are you getting the high amount of fiber from for each cluster?
The fiber content is coming from the fruit and the Lily’s chocolate chips!
Delicious, making them again for the third time in two weeks! I used frozen strawberries and let them thaw for a few minutes so that I could dice them and they turned out fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
Amazing! I am so glad you gave this recipe a try and are loving it. Thanks so much for your review & star rating, I truly appreciate it!
Could Iuse frozen strawberries.
Hi Terrie – I haven’t tested this recipe with frozen strawberries I don’t think the yogurt would stick to the fruit as well. Let me know if you give it a try and how it turns out for you. Enjoy!
I, too, found out the chocolate hardens when you dip the clusters into it. So I appreciate this easy revision of pouring the chocolate on top of the clusters! These are absolutely delicious. It’s like eating chocolate covered, creamy strawberries, only healthier. So yummy!
Of course! I am so glad this recipe turned out great for you as well, Angela. It is definitely becoming one of my favorite summer treats. Thank you for your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
I hate Greek yogurt, but actually decided to give these a try and they were amazing. These would satisfy any sweet tooth for super low calorie count and some extra protein. I will definitely be making these again in the future.
YUM! I am so glad you gave these a try and they turned out great for you. Thanks for your review & star rating, I truly appreciate it!
