Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped

2 ripe bananas, well-mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for added sweetness)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup almond butter (or your choice of nut butter)

1/4 cup chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, use a fork to gently mash the chopped strawberries until they reach a slightly pureed consistency, retaining some chunkiness. Set the bowl aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix this until the ingredients are smooth and creamy without any lumps.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats and chia seeds (if you choose to include them). Ensure they are evenly mixed for uniform texture.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the oat mixture into the wet ingredient mixture, stirring gently until everything is well incorporated. Next, delicately fold in the mashed strawberries to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.

          Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal after freezing.

            Spread the Mixture: Pour the mixed batter into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture and press down firmly to compact it into the pan.

              Freeze: Place the baking dish flat in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until it is completely solid.

                Cut into Bars: After freezing, lift the mixture out of the baking dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Transfer it onto a cutting board and cut it into bars of your preferred size.

                  Store: Place the cut bars in an airtight container and store them in the freezer, where they will keep for up to 2 months.

                      - Presentation Tips: For a beautiful presentation, drizzle a little extra honey over the top before cutting, or sprinkle some additional chia seeds for a nutty touch. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat!
