What is a Yogurt Bar?
Yogurt bars are an excellent option, especially for those looking for a healthy snack. The lightness and freshness of yogurt combines with the sweetness of fruits and the crunch of peanuts to create a nutritious and satisfying flavor. These bars can be enjoyed at any time, from breakfast to snacks, and can be frozen and stored for a long time. Moreover, they are made with all-natural ingredients that do not contain sugar or additives, making them a healthy alternative.
Advantages of Yogurt Bars
- Healthy and Light: Yogurt bars are a low-calorie, probiotic-rich and protein-packed snack alternative.
- Variety: The fruit and nuts can be changed according to personal preference, making the recipe different every time.
- Easy Preparation: You can easily serve it by keeping it in the freezer and slicing it. It stands out as a refreshing flavor especially on hot summer days.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups strained yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey (the amount can be increased optionally)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Orgibite Pistachios (chopped)
- 1/2 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi)
- 1/4 cup Orgibite Raisins
- 1/4 cup Orgibite Hazelnuts (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Orgibite Walnuts (optional)
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Preparation:
- Prepare the Yogurt Mix: Combine the strained yogurt, honey and vanilla extract in a deep mixing bowl. Mix well until you get a smooth consistency. You can adjust the amount of honey according to your taste; if you want a sweeter bar, you can add a little more.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with baking paper. This will allow the yogurt mixture to separate easily when you take it out of the freezer.
- Spread the yogurt mixture on the tray: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula to create a flat surface. Make sure that the yogurt layer is about 1 cm thick.
- Add Fruits and Nuts: Sprinkle with chopped Orgibite Pistachios, fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi), Orgibite Raisins, Orgibite Hazelnuts and optional walnuts. Arrange to create a colorful and attractive display.
- Place in the Freezer: Place your yogurt bar in the freezer for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. When the bars are firm, they will be ready to slice.
- Slice and Serve: After removing from the freezer, remove the baking paper from the tray and slice the yogurt bar with a sharp knife. You can serve immediately after slicing. You can store leftover bars in the freezer so that you always have a healthy snack at hand.
