These Frozen Yogurt Bars are the ultimate healthy treat, combining creamy Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and a crunchy granola topping. Perfect for a refreshing snack or light dessert, these bars are easy to make, deliciously nutritious, and a hit with both kids and adults.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup granola

Directions:

Prepare the Base:
Line a 9×9-inch baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the Greek yogurt evenly across the bottom of the dish, creating a smooth layer.

Add the Fruit:
Scatter the sliced strawberries and blueberries evenly over the yogurt layer. Their vibrant colors and fresh flavors will infuse the yogurt with a burst of fruity goodness.

Top with Granola:
Sprinkle the granola evenly over the fruit and yogurt. The granola adds a satisfying crunch and a hint of sweetness that complements the creamy yogurt and juicy fruit.

Freeze:
Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely frozen. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture for your bars.

Break into Pieces:
Once frozen solid, remove the yogurt from the dish. Break or cut it into bite-sized bars or pieces. Store these delightful frozen treats in an airtight container in the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy.

Serving Tips:

Thaw Slightly for Best Texture:
Before serving, let the Frozen Yogurt Bars sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. This slight thawing makes them easier to cut and enhances the creamy texture.

Serve with Fresh Fruit or a Drizzle:
For an extra touch, serve the bars with a few fresh berries on the side or a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce. This adds flavor and a gourmet touch.

Portion Control:
To help with portion control and convenience, cut the bars into uniform sizes. This way, you can easily grab a single piece whenever you’re in the mood for a snack.

Kid-Friendly:
These bars are a great option for kids. Cut them into smaller pieces for a fun and healthy treat that kids will love.

Storage Tips:

Airtight Container:
Store the Frozen Yogurt Bars in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain their freshness.

Separate Layers:
If you’re stacking bars in a container, place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between layers. This will prevent them from sticking together.

Label and Date:
If you’re making a large batch, label the container with the date. Frozen Yogurt Bars are best enjoyed within 2-3 months for optimal freshness.

Quick Access:
Keep a small container of bars in the freezer for easy access. They make a perfect grab-and-go snack when stored in a convenient spot.

FAQs:

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain or vanilla?

Yes, you can use flavored Greek yogurt to add extra taste to your Frozen Yogurt Bars. Just keep in mind that flavored yogurts may add additional sugars, so adjust the granola and fruit toppings accordingly to maintain a balanced flavor.

How can I make these bars dairy-free?

To make dairy-free Frozen Yogurt Bars, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative, such as coconut milk yogurt or almond milk yogurt. Ensure the alternative yogurt has a similar texture to Greek yogurt for the best results.

Can I add other fruits or mix-ins to the bars?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize the bars with other fruits like raspberries, mango, or kiwi. You can also add mix-ins such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor. Just be sure to evenly distribute the mix-ins before freezing.

How do I prevent the bars from sticking to the parchment paper?

To prevent sticking, use parchment paper or wax paper to line the dish. If the bars are still difficult to remove, try freezing them a bit longer or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make them easier to lift and cut.
