Yogurt Bars with Fruit & Nuts
It’s disappointing when some food items that we really enjoy vanish from store shelves. For many different reasons, the manufacturer stops making them. It’s a bummer especially when we like something a lot.
There was a treat back in the 80s’ & 90s’ made with yogurt that I really liked and every time I came across them, I simply had to buy some. Suddenly, this lovely treat disappeared so therefore I had no choice but duplicate it. Although they are not exactly the same, my version is still quite delicious. Here’s my Yogurt Bars with Fruit & Nuts!
These treats are incredible! They are creamy, velvety, and with the added toppings, they make a great snack. I like to use Vanilla Yogurt but I’m sure using other flavors would be great as well. You can either freeze them or simply keep them in the refrigerator. If you decide to serve them chilled, they will be hard to handle therefore a fork would be the right food utensil to use when enjoying them.
I like to change the toppings. In this video, I combine cranberries with pistachios and sunflower seeds. Other times, I use dried blueberries with pecans and pumpkin seeds. There are no rules for this Yogurt Bars with Fruit & Nuts recipe… so use what you have on hand.
This easy recipe is a delicious treat to enjoy anytime. It’s packed with yumminess plus it’s tasty and nutritious. These Yogurt Bars with Fruit & Nuts are a great treat to serve this summer…
Bon Appétit!
