Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or your favorite dairy-free yogurt)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola (your favorite mix)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or carob chips for a healthier alternative)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas. Cut them into thick rounds, approximately 1/2 inch in thickness. Arrange the banana slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent sticking during freezing.

    Create the Yogurt Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend together the plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using for added sweetness), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that all ingredients are well combined.

      Coat the Banana Slices: Using a spoon or a spatula, take a portion of the yogurt mixture and generously coat each banana slice. Ensure that both sides of each slice are lightly covered with the yogurt for maximum flavor.

        Add Crunch: After each banana slice is coated with the yogurt mixture, sprinkle the granola and dark chocolate chips on top. Press down gently to help them stick to the yogurt coating, adding a delightful crunch to each bite.

          Freeze: Carefully reposition the yogurt-coated banana slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the slices are coated and topped, place the baking sheet in the freezer.

            Freeze Until Firm: Allow the banana yogurt disks to freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours or until they are completely solid. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.

              Serve: Once frozen solid, gently remove the disks from the parchment paper. For storage, keep them in an airtight container in the freezer, where they can last up to a month. These delicious and refreshing disks can be enjoyed straight from the freezer as a healthy snack!
