Ingredients
- 4-5 fruit & nut or protein bars of choice *You may need more/less depending on how large your bars are
- 1 16oz container of yogurt
- 3 tbsp of your favorite protein powder
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cashew butter *optional but makes them even better!
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
If making round sandwiches
- You can either blend all of the frozen yogurt ingredients together & then add back to the yogurt container or just mix it inside the container really well until no clumps remain. Taste the mixture & adjust as you'd like.
- Freeze the container for 5-6 hours-overnight until completely firm.
- If your bars are firm/hard, heat them for 15-20 seconds to soften them slightly. This will make rolling them out easier. Roll them out on parchment paper. Cut rounds out of the bars to create the cookies. I cover mine and place them in the freezer while I wait for the yogurt to firm.
- When ready to assemble the sandwiches, remove the yogurt from the freezer and let thaw for 10-15 minutes. This will make cutting it easier. Turn the yogurt container on its side. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice rounds out of the container, removing the cardboard from the yogurt if they don't just pop out.
- Add a cookie to the top and bottom of the sandwich. You can let them thaw a bit more if the yogurt is really frozen or enjoy immediately.
If making square sandwiches
- If your bars are firm/hard, heat them for 15-20 seconds to soften them slightly. This will make them easier to work with. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Press 2-3 bars into the bottom of the pan until it's completely covered.
- Blend or mix together the yogurt ingredients until smooth. Taste & adjust as you'd like. Pour over the base.
- Place in the freezer for 4-5 hours or until firm. Once firm, press the remaining bars over top until the yogurt layer is covered.
- Let the bars thaw for 10-15 minutes to make them easier to cut. Then, cut into squares.
