Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (choose full-fat for creaminess or low-fat for a lighter option)

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

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup mixed nuts (like almonds, walnuts, or cashews), finely chopped

1/2 cup dried fruit (select from cranberries, raisins, or apricots), finely chopped

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for a touch of sweetness)

Fresh fruit slices (such as banana, strawberries, or peaches) for layering

A pinch of salt for flavor enhancement

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or spatula to blend the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Mix the Granola: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, dried fruit, and mini chocolate chips (if you’re including them). Stir the mixture well to ensure all components are evenly distributed throughout.

      Create the Rounds: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping them into rounds about 2-3 inches in diameter. Gently flatten each mound to create even rounds.

        Layer with Granola: Take half of the yogurt rounds and generously sprinkle the granola mixture on top. Lightly press the granola into the yogurt to help it adhere.

          Add Fresh Fruit: Lay a slice of your chosen fresh fruit on top of each yogurt round that does not have granola. Carefully place another yogurt round with granola on top to create a delicious sandwich.

            Freeze: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the sandwiches for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the sandwiches from the baking sheet. You can enjoy them right away or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for an easy-to-grab treat whenever cravings strike!
