Hi Friends!
I’ve got a special treat for you today- a new dessert…
That only has 4 ingredients.
And is super simple to make.
Are you ready for it?!
Aren’t they pretty?! For those of you that don’t know, it’s super hard for me to photograph white things…so just trust me. I promise they taste good.
When my friends at Chobani sent me some of their new, bigger, pre-blended tubs of yogurt to try out…I immediately dove into the Vanilla Chocolate Chunk because I’d never had it before.
We all know I love my greek yogurt frozen- remember these Frozen Yogurt Bites?
These bars use similar ingredients. I added coolwhip to make the yogurt a little lighter and make it more dessert-like. You could also make this in a pie tin and cut into wedges! Or make a mini version using muffin tins!
You’ll have to play around with the pan size. I used a weird 11×7 pan and it was too big, so I just made a little foil barrier to put on one edge to hold the yogurt in place until it froze. I think an 8×8 pan would work well.
I covered mine with plastic wrap until it froze, then cut into squares and stored in a tupperware container.
Here’s the super simple recipe:
Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars
Prep Time: 5 min
Keywords: dessert healthy greek yogurt
Ingredients (approx one 8×8 pan)
- 16 oz tub of Vanilla Chocolate Chunk Chobani Greek yogurt
- 3/4 c low-fat Cool Whip
- 1 1/2 c Love Grown Foods Simply Oats granola
- 1/3 c peanut butter
Instructions
1. Let the coolwhip thaw slightly, then combine with yogurt and mix until well combined.
2. Pour the granola in a food processor and pulse several times until ground.
3. Transfer to a bowl, add peanut butter and use your hands to mix well.
4. Press crust mixture into the bottom of a pan.
5. Top with yogurt mixture and freeze.
6. Cut into squares and serve.
That’s it! Don’t be afraid to try with different flavors. I’m trying blueberry next!
My crust held together fairly well with just the granola and pb. If yours doesn’t, you could add a little melted butter, or increase the amount of pb you use.
Grab a fork and dig in, friends!
Enjoy!

LOVE IT! Just wondering what you would think if I Just used oats, instead of granola? Would that work? I must make this!
i think it would work. it might be a bit different because the crust wouldn’t be as crunchy…it’d be softer i think…but i think it would still taste good!
OMG, these look amazing!! You are such a genius. I love it.

What a cool idea! I’ve seen all the yogurt pops but those don’t appeal to be – I like this approach – I need a crust!

This? AMAZING!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness recently posted..Which Would You Choose?
oh my…definitely going to make these…and more possibilities are dancing around in my head!
Lindsay, question! is this flavor yogurt available in stores now?! I have not seen it yet….
i know it’s available in small containers in the kids line. but i think the big tubs are also available at some stores!
I bet this would be wonderful also with a sugar cookie crust or peanut butter cookie crust. This is definitely a keeper in my house!
peanut butter cookie crust would be amazing!
Those are beautiful! You did a good job photographing them! I will admit though I was really excited to finally see the chocolate vanilla at my local target until I saw the awful stats! Holy sugar! Definitely one of those moderation snacks for sure, I put it back!
i agree that it’s not a flavor i eat every day. that’s why i used it to make more of a dessert, as opposed to a daily snack!
my LAWD I’m drooling reading this. I seem to always say this when reading your posts. haha. Definitelyyyyyy pinning this for when I need a quick & yummi snack. especially since my entire fridge is literally FULL of cho.
