Frozen yogurt bars
Ingredients:

  • 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt (like Fage Total 0%)
  • 1 cup strawberries, diced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup low-fat granola (choose a lower-sugar option)
  • 1-2 tsp honey or a sugar-free sweetener (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt with honey or a sugar-free sweetener if desired. Mix until well incorporated and sweetened to your liking.
  2. Add the Berries:
    • Gently fold in the diced strawberries and blueberries into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the vibrant colors of the berries.
  3. Line the Pan:
    • Line a square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
  4. Layer the Mixture:
    • Pour the yogurt and berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
    • Sprinkle the low-fat granola evenly over the top.
  5. Freeze:
    • Place the baking dish in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the yogurt is firm.
  6. Break into Pieces:
    • Once frozen, lift the parchment paper to remove the yogurt bark from the dish.
    • Break or chop the bark into pieces of your desired size.
  7. Store:
    • Store the yogurt bark pieces in a Ziplock bag or any airtight container in the freezer.

Tips:

  • Sweetener: Adjust the sweetness to your liking with honey or a sugar-free sweetener. You can also skip the sweetener if the fruit is naturally sweet enough.
  • Granola: Choose a low-fat, low-sugar granola to keep the points low. You can also make your own granola using oats, a bit of honey, and nuts.
  • Portion Control: Break the bark into portion-controlled pieces to manage points more easily.
