Frozen Yogurt Bars

Frozen Yogurt Bars are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make treat that combines the natural creaminess and probiotics of yogurt with wholesome ingredients like oats, almond butter, and berries. These bars are perfect for a refreshing snack or dessert and require no baking, only freezing for a couple of hours.

You’ll love how these bars are customizable to your taste, with the sweet and tangy stewed berries swirled into a creamy yogurt topping over a hearty oat and nut butter base. The combination of textures from the firm, chewy base to the smooth, fruity yogurt layer creates a balanced and satisfying snack that feels indulgent without the guilt. Plus, they are great for meal prepping or quick healthy snacks on the go.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (130g) frozen mixed berries
• 1 cup (180g) Medjool dates, pitted
• 2 cups (185g) rolled oats
• 1 cup (255g) almond butter
• ¼ cup (28g) ground flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon (2.5g) ground cinnamon
• 1½ cups (395g) unsweetened soy yogurt

Instructions

2. In a food processor, blend dates until smooth.

3. Add oats, almond butter, ground flaxseed, and cinnamon to dates and blend until well combined.

4. Press mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 11×7-inch (18x28cm) baking dish forming an even base.

5. Spread soy yogurt evenly over the top.

6. Dot the stewed berries across the yogurt layer and use a knife to swirl for a marbled effect.

7. Freeze for 1-2 hours until bars are firm enough to cut into squares or bars.

8. Remove from freezer, let thaw 3-5 minutes, and enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Press the base mixture firmly to ensure it holds together when sliced.

• Use unsweetened soy yogurt for creamy texture and no added sugars.

• Adjust sweetness by varying dates and cinnamon amounts.

• Swirl berries gently for an attractive marbled appearance without blending completely.

• Store bars in freezer airtight containers to maintain freshness.

Variations to Try

• Swap soy yogurt with Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for different flavors.

• Add chopped nuts or seeds to the base for extra crunch.

• Use other fruit combinations like peaches, mango, or mixed berries.

• Incorporate vanilla extract into yogurt layer for additional flavor depth.

• Top with shredded coconut or dark chocolate shavings before freezing.
