A sneaky treat that is totally healthy! Frozen Yogurt and Berry Bars! (click for the full recipe)

Oh, hey! Remember me? It’s been a while, but I used to blog around these parts! Where I’ve been is a story for another time, because right now I have something sweet and creamy to distract you from my neglect.

It’s no secret that I have a bit of sweet tooth, which makes it all the harder for me when I try to buckle down and reduce the amount of sweets in my diet. With Christmas practically beating down the door already, I just know the holiday season is going to be the usual cavalcade of cakes, chocolate and candy canes (I’m sure somewhere my dentist is shuddering at the thought!) So I’ve been trying to behave myself… it’s…. kind of lame.

Because I have absolutely no will-power, I have to trick myself into believing that I am still getting that sweet sweet sugar hit I crave so much. Doing this is simple: freeze anything and it gives the impression what you’re eating is a sneaky treat, even if its actually healthy! Add the tangy bite of berries, and you have a winning combination my friend! Take some good old fashioned Greek yogurt, mix in a bit of honey and berries, there ain’t nothing bad for you in these icy snacks!

      Hi Lena,

      As long as they are in an air tight container, you should be able to keep these for a few weeks - maybe longer! The only problem you may have is the yoghurt getting freezer burn (ie: too ‘icy’ rather than creamy), so keep them stored in an air tight container and it is a good idea to place baking paper in between the bars to stop them from sticking to each other. Hope that helps :)
