Tasty and Healthy Treat

 Hello to all.  HAPPY EARTH DAY!
Hope this finds you all well and safe.  It is a beautiful morning here.  Low 60's and the sun is shining.  During the night I heard a little thunder off at a distance - but I don't believe we received any rain here.  It seems to circle all around us so many times.  It looks to be a glorious day.

Today I want to give you a 'recipe' for an easy, tasty and healthy treat or dessert.  I made this and I see no limits to what can be used.  I mean you know me a 'recipes'!!!  They are just suggestions for me.

FROZEN FRUIT YOGURT BARS
2 C plain yogurt
1/2 C honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C fruit
Mix the yogurt, honey and vanilla until all incorporated.  Fits in an 8 x 8 pan.  Line with parchment paper for easy removal.  Pour mixture in pan and then add the fruit.  You can place just on top or push in a little.  Place pan in freezer for a good 4 hours - then cut into bars.

I had a quart of plain yogurt I got on clearance a couple weeks ago - so I doubled the recipe and used a 9 x 11 pan.  I also didn't have quite the amount of honey needed - open, so I added pure maple syrup to it.  I used banana extract because I was using bananas.  I cut up bananas that needed using and halved some grapes as well.  
SUPER yummy!!!!!!
ENJOY!

You can use any kind of fruit you want - strawberries, bananas, blue berries, peaches, pineapple........
I well imagine you could add nuts, crunchies or something else on top.  Also, I would say you could use whatever yogurt you have on hand.  All you have flavored?  Use it.
I do believe the honey (not only for sweetness) helped it not freeze too hard.

Such a wonderful treat.  Cool and refreshing. AND healthy!!!!!!  

Hope you all have a wonderful day and maybe do something fun for Earth Day.  Go pick-up some trash somewhere, plant a posey or a tree, create no trash today, eat natural, just do something.  It is something we should be doing every single day - not just one day a year.

Have a super and beautiful day.

  1. Happy Earth Day to you. The pastoral care department at work gave us American plum seedlings to celebrate the day so I'll be planting that soon to see if it grows. I made this last week with Greek yogurt, and I used a cut up pineapple that I froze for a couple of hours. It was a tasty treat. Have a great day.

  2. You are so right...taking care of our earthly home is not just a once a year celebration, a reminder. We have several houseplants, which helps to clean the air, and lots of growing things in the backyard. Mature trees help to clean the air and provide shade to help cool our homes.

    The frozen yogurt bars look yummy! We have green strawberries, so may have to make this when they ripen.

    It is a lovely day in the neighborhood. The Farmer has a dental appointment this afternoon so we are faffing about in the house until time to leave.

    Enjoy this perfect day!

    1. We sure do need tom take care of this old earth - it is the only one we have. I have the houseplants, and then love getting to open windows - fresh air. Everything in the yard helps support something else. It is just an amazing world.
      It is really good!
      Have a fun day - the weather is perfect.
