Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or your favorite flavored variety)

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice, such as peanut or cashew)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup mixed nuts (roughly chopped, choices include almonds, walnuts, pecans)

1/2 cup dried fruit (options like cranberries, apricots, or raisins)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for extra indulgence)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, and dried fruit to the yogurt mixture. If you’d like to add a touch of sweetness, fold in the dark chocolate chips as well. Stir carefully until all components are evenly mixed and coated.

      Line the Pan: Take a 9x9-inch (or similarly sized) baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Make sure to leave a bit of overhang on the sides; this will help you lift the set mixture out easily later on.

        Pour the Mixture: Transfer the yogurt-nut mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula, spread it out evenly, pressing down lightly to ensure that it’s packed tightly for a solid bite.

          Freeze: Place your pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is entirely set and firm to the touch.

            Cut into Squares: Once fully frozen, remove the pan from the freezer. Use the parchment overhang to lift the frozen slab out carefully. Move it to a cutting board, and cut into squares or bars of your preferred size.

              Store: Place the squares back in the parchment-lined pan or transfer to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer, where they will keep well for up to a month.

                Enjoy: Serve these deliciously satisfying squares straight from the freezer as a healthy snack or a quick breakfast option. They’re perfect for outdoor adventures, picnics, or as a wholesome treat whenever you need a boost!
