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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

This Yogurt Bar with Fruit and Pistachios satisfies your sweet tooth and offers a healthy option. It is a perfect snack alternative especially for busy people, dieters or children. Enriched with Orgibite's high quality pistachios and nuts, this recipe offers a refreshing taste.
