Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

¼ cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for a touch of brightness)

Pinch of salt

Fresh raspberries for topping (optional)

Dark chocolate chips or shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Incorporate Chia Seeds and Raspberries: Gently fold in the chia seeds and raspberries, being careful to keep some raspberry chunks intact. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for balanced texture.

      Blend for a Smoother Consistency (Optional): If you prefer a creamier consistency, you can blend the mixture for a few seconds using an immersion blender or a regular blender. Take care not to over-blend; you want to retain some raspberry pieces.

        Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

          Add Garnishes: For added flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle extra fresh raspberries and dark chocolate chips over the top of the yogurt mixture.

            Freeze the Bars: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the frozen yogurt block out of the dish. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly, then slice it into bars with a sharp knife.

                Enjoy Your Treat: Serve the bars immediately, or store the extras in an airtight container in the freezer. For optimal freshness, consume them within a few weeks.
