Servings: 6 bars
Calories: 191kcal
Equipment
- Blender or Immersion Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain unsweetened yogurt soy, cashew, or vegan Greek yogurt, or yogurt of choice
- 4 Medjool dates or more to taste (see notes)
- ⅔ cup pistachios plus more for topping the bars
Instructions
- Optional for smoother bars: Place the dates in a heatproof container, cover them with boiled water, and let them soak for at least 10 minutes. After soaking, remove the pits.
- Transfer the soaked dates to a blender along with the yogurt and pistachios. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the blended yogurt to about six (half-cup) freeze trays. Top them with a layer of chopped pistachios.
- Cover and freeze for 4 to 6 hours to freeze completely, depending on the thickness of the bars and the temperature of your freezer. For best results, it's ideal to let them freeze overnight to ensure they are fully set.
- Let the bars sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before enjoying them for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For creamier frozen yogurt pistachio bars, use full-fat non-dairy yogurt, such as cashew-based yogurt, or add ¼ cup tahini. These options tend to have a richer texture and higher fat content, which adds creaminess to the bars. Make sure the yogurt is unsweetened and plain to keep the natural flavors of the dates and pistachios as the star!
Use unsweetened Greek-style yogurt for the most protein. There are some relatively clean plant-based Greek yogurts on the market. Or use homemade soy milk yogurt or cashew yogurt.
Add protein powder for more protein.
Dates: Use about 2 tablespoons maple syrup or date syrup instead, or to taste.
This recipe yields approximately 6 bars. To freeze, use a freezer-safe container with six half-cup slots for easy portioning and perfect bar sizes.
Smoothie option: The blended pistachio yogurt can be enjoyed immediately without freezing!
