Frozen Yogurt Bars – Easy Vegan Recipes Everyone Will Love
I’ve always had a soft spot for desserts that look fancy but take very little work. These frozen yogurt bars? They hit the mark. You know those hot days when your only motivation is to sit by a fan and pretend it’s fall? Well, that’s exactly when I reach for these. No baking, no fuss, just a cold square of fruity, creamy goodness that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together. I make mine with a mix of berries—strawberries, blueberries, a few rogue raspberries if I have them hiding in the freezer. The base is this lusciously thick plant-based yogurt, barely sweetened, with maple syrup and a kiss of vanilla. It’s the kind of snack that doesn’t make you feel like you’ve made a terrible decision at 3 p.m. If you’re chasing Easy Vegan Recipes or poking around for a simple way to brighten up your week, these bars will do it. They’re the type of recipe vegan beginners love, and experienced folks keep in rotation. I’ve had friends text me after one bite asking for the recipe, and I always laugh—it’s too easy. So here it is, straight from my kitchen to yours.
