A frozen miracle that’s been on repeat ever since. It’s become a summer tradition in our house, and my kids now call them “frozen hugs.” They’re just the right mix of sweet and satisfying, without the sugar overload.
What to Serve with Your Frozen Yogurt Treats
- A tall glass of iced green tea
- A fruit salad with mint and lime
- A scoop of light vanilla or coconut ice cream for extra indulgence
- Pair with a sunshine-y afternoon on the patio
How to Store and Enjoy Later
Keep leftover bars in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 weeks (if they last that long!). When ready to eat, let sit at room temp for a couple of minutes to soften slightly. Great for school lunches or quick, sweet fixes.
