Combine ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the Greek yogurt to form a creamy, fruity yogurt mixture.
Form bites

Freeze bites
Transfer the baking sheet with the yogurt bites on it to the freezer and freeze them until frozen solid – about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate
Once the yogurt bites are ready, place the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and add the coconut oil, if using. Melt the chocolate chips by placing them into the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring them in between until fully melted. Let the melted chocolate sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes.
Dip bites
Remove the frozen yogurt bites from the freezer and use a fork to dip each one completely into the melted chocolate then place each one back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Allow to harden
Let them sit for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and enjoy!
