Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup almond butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Fresh fruit (like berries or bananas) for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Set the Base: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

      Add Toppings: Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the yogurt mixture to create a crunchy layer. Gently press them down to ensure they stick.

        Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer for about 4-6 hours, or until the squares are fully set and firm to the touch.

          Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the frozen yogurt block from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares or bars, as desired.

            Enjoy: Serve the squares immediately for a refreshing treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Optionally, serve with fresh fruit for added flavor and nutrition.
