These bars are a delicious treat in the middle of the summer heat. I’ve written a basic recipe for you here, but basically there are a million variations, depending on what yogurt you start with, and what mix-ins you choose. I just write down the calories of each item as I add it in, total the calories, and then divide through by 6 or 8, depending on how I choose to cut the bars.
Ingredients:
2 cups yogurt (if you use unsweetened yogurt, you might want to add your sweetener of choice.)
3/4 cup granola
1 cup frozen cherries
1 very ripe mashed banana
1 oz chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients together and put in an 8X8 or 9×9 pan. Freeze until firm, and then cut into bars. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and keep in freezer. To eat, take out about 20-30 minutes ahead of time to allow to soften up.
For this particular recipe, I used whole milk yogurt, divided into 8 bars, and my stats came out to about 135 calories per bar.
