Frozen Yogurt Trail Mix Bars

This recipe for Frozen Yogurt Trail Mix Bars is easy to customize and makes a perfect healthy snack or breakfast for both kids and adults!

Hi Friends!

This recipe for Frozen Yogurt Bites is easy to customize and makes a perfect healthy snack or breakfast for both kids and adults!

**EDITED TO ADD: For an updated version of this post, with photos and instructions for the bite-sized version of these bars pictured above, please check out this post: Frozen Yogurt Bites!**

Happy New Year!! Last year on January 1st, I posted a recipe featuring Greek yogurt: Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes. They’re my favorite pancakes ever and I make them all the time. This year, I decided to continue my tradition and share another yummy recipe that features my favorite yogurt on New Years Day!

Some of you may have seen them on Instagram or Facebook already and LOTS of you have asked for the recipe. Ask and you shall receive 🙂

I give you… Frozen Yogurt Trail Mix Bars!

These Frozen Yogurt Trail Mix Bars can also be made in ice cube trays for a bite-sized snack. Customize them with your favorite mix-ins for a healthy snack.

Aren’t they pretty?! Probably the prettiest thing I’ve made in a while. Remember when I made these Frozen Yogurt Bites? I dipped them in chocolate the first time but now I made them all the time with just yogurt and granola, and eat them as a snack. Well, these bars are similar… I just took them to the next level. I was tired of eating regular granola bars, so I took all the things I like in my trail mix/granola bars – granola, fruit, nuts, a few chocolate chips – and decided to try a frozen version.

I used bananas and strawberries that I already had in the freezer in mine. I just pulled them out, chopped them up and mixed them in the yogurt, but I think fresh fruit would work just fine. I also chose to use half plain yogurt and half flavored. If you want them sweeter, you could use all flavored.

    Hello, Lindsay!
    Many thanks for these yogurt bars! I made them four times in the last 10 days. My kids love them. I use mostly organic ingredients and they taste awesome. I place them in a square silicon baking pan and that makes for a quick removal once frozen. I am looking forward to making more of your recipes. I always wonder what does a dietitian eat, because you have so much knowledge about food.
    Keep up the good work!

    Hey,

    I made these and they’re delicious but storing them in the freezer isn’t working so good because they freeze so hard. If I move a small batch at a time into the fridge will they just liquify?

    Reply
    • Lindsay says

      August 19, 2013 at 12:07 PM

      yes, they will just turn back to yogurt. i leave mine in the freezer and take them out 5-10 min before i want to eat them. It gives them time to thaw and i’m able to eat them with no trouble.

        I think you’d have very different results if you used a 12X17 jellyroll pan instead of an 8X4 loaf pan. I’ll try the 9X9 and see how it works. (By the by, these look yummy!)
