Make cold, creamy frozen yogurt bars with a crunchy granola base and bursts of fresh berries! These frozen yogurt treats are ridiculously easy to make and an ideal summer treat. They require just five ingredients and minimal effort yet deliver the satisfaction of a delicious dessert that is simple and wholesome.
Unlike artificially flavored popsicles from the store, these frozen yogurt bars are made with real fruit and protein-packed Greek yogurt, so I can feel good about serving them as an after-school snack or dessert. These are perfect for creating a homemade frozen dessert without an ice cream maker!
They work as a grab-and-go breakfast, afternoon snack, or light dessert without the sugar crash that follows most sweet treats. You can customize these bars with whatever fruit you have on hand. I’m sharing my family’s favorite strawberry version today, but we’ve made them with blueberries, peaches, and even mango.
You can make these once and enjoy them all week (if they last that long!). Slice them up and store them in the freezer, and you’ve got ready-made snacks for those moments when you need something satisfying but don’t want to turn on the oven.
Ready to see just how simple these 5-ingredient frozen yogurt bars are? Let me show you exactly how to make them in your kitchen!

Ingredient Notes
For exact amounts needed see the recipe card below
- Greek yogurt: I prefer vanilla yogurt for convenience, but plain works too. Make sure to use Greek yogurt rather than regular yogurt – it’s thicker and creamier, which helps these bars set up correctly.
- Maple syrup: You can substitute honey if you prefer.
- Granola
- Coconut Oil or Butter
- Fresh Berries – Strawberries are my family’s favorite, but any fresh berries work beautifully. Just make sure they’re well-dried after washing to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Chocolate chips
- Vanilla
How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bars
- Mix your granola with melted coconut oil or butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan. The parchment paper makes removing the bars so much easier later!
- In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with maple syrup and vanilla (if using plain yogurt). Take a quick taste test – this is your chance to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the granola base.
- Scatter the strawberries and chocolate chips over the top. Gently press them into the yogurt layer so they don’t fall off when frozen.
- Cover the pan (I use plastic wrap) and pop it in the freezer for at least 4 hours. I usually make these in the morning so they’re ready for afternoon snack time.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, let the bars sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cutting. This short rest makes them easier to slice and gives them the perfect texture for eating.
Serving Ideas
The frozen yogurt bars are perfect straight from the freezer! They make a great healthy snack, especially on those hot summer days. You can also serve them breakfast for something different. I like to pair them with some extra fresh fruit on the side.
How to Store
When stored correctly, these bars keep well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Place the cut bars in an airtight container. Layer parchment paper between the bars to prevent sticking
If you’re storing them longer than a week, wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap before placing them in the container. This extra step helps prevent freezer burn and keeps them tasting fresh.
Tips & Tricks
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- Press the granola mixture FIRMLY into the pan. This helps keep the bars from crumbling when you cut them.
- If your granola is very chunky, pulse it quickly in the food processor.
- Use thick Greek yogurt – regular yogurt is too runny and won’t set either.
- Let them sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before eating. Their texture is much better when they’re not rock-hard.
- Try different toppings. These are great with raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries. You can also add chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
