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 (such as berries or sliced bananas) for optional serving

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. Using a whisk or spatula, stir the mixture until it is smooth and evenly blended, ensuring that the chia seeds are well incorporated.

    Set the Base: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Pour the creamy yogurt mixture into the prepared dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring a flat surface.

      Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the yogurt mixture, creating a crunchy layer. Lightly press the almonds into the mixture with your fingers or the spatula to ensure they adhere well.

        Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for approximately 4 to 6 hours, or until the yogurt squares are fully set and firm to the touch. For best results, avoid opening the freezer during the freezing process to maintain a consistent temperature.

          Cut and Serve: Once the yogurt mixture has completely set, carefully remove the frozen block from the dish by lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice into squares or bars of your desired size.

            Enjoy: Serve the yogurt squares immediately as a refreshing treat, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For an extra touch, consider serving them alongside fresh fruit for added flavor and nutrition.
