If you follow this blog, you know how much I love frozen treats – ice pops…frozen drinks….I’m a sucker for any icy goodness!
Well, I came up with a frozen, guilt-free holiday treat. No, it is not an ice pop! It is a frozen holiday bark!
I mixed 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt with ¼ cup honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I spread this mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet to about a ¼” thick – it made an 11” x 7” slab on the parchment.
Next, I added some fun extras – dried cherries, pistachios, and cocoa chips.
So now my guilt-free creation is looking like a festive holiday bark!
I popped it into the freezer to set and then broke it into pieces to eat! The remaining pieces are stored in a covered container in the freezer.
Fun, right?
There are so many fun variations to try – you can come up with some using your favorite extras – dried fruit, raisins, sunflower seeds, nuts, sesame seeds, etc. I like the consistency of the chewy dried fruit with the yogurt.
I haven’t been this excited about a snack since I discovered frozen grapes! Maybe if I make a version with lemon peel I could forgo my Thanksgiving lemon meringue pie? Now I wouldn’t go that far!
Thanks for stopping by!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
