INGREDIENTS

BASE

• 1 cup (120g) dates, soaked
• 1 cup (120g) walnuts
• pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons (14g) cacao powder

YOGURT MIXTURE

• 1 ½ cups (350g) plain Greek yogurt
• 1 scoop (30g) chocolate protein powder
• 1-2 tablespoons (30mL) water
• pinch of salt

TOPPINGS

• 1 cup (140g) pitted frozen cheries
• 1 square (10g) dark chocolate

DIRECTIONS 

BASE

1. Soak the dates overnight or soak the dates in boiling water for a few minutes.
2. Blend the walnuts and pinch of salt in a food processor until the walnuts are in fine pieces. Remove the walnuts from the food processor.
3. Add the dates to the food processor and blend until they turn into a paste. Then add the chopped walnuts and cacao powder to the food processor and blend until well combined. The mixture will stick together and if it doesn't add one tablespoon of water and blend until the mixture sticks together when pressed into a ball.
4. Prepare a baking dish with parchment paper, pour the mixture into the dish, and press with your hands or a spatula into an even layer.

*NOTE: you can prepare the base ahead of time and store it in the freezer until you are ready to assemble the bars with the yogurt-mixture and toppings!

YOGURT-MIXTURE

1. Prepare the yogurt mixture by combining the plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder, one tablespoon of water, and a pinch of salt. You may need to add an extra tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick.
2. Pour the yogurt mixture over the base and distribute evenly.

TOPPINGS

1. Place the frozen cherries on top of the yogurt mixture in an even row.
2. Chop or grate dark chocolate and evenly sprinkle over top!
3. Store the Frozen Yogurt bars in the freezer. When ready to serve, allow them to thaw for about 3-5 minutes before slicing into bars. I recommend slicing them into four bars if enjoying them as a meal and up to six bars if you are enjoying one as a snack or dessert!
