Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup coconut milk (canned or cartoned)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, more shredded coconut, sliced almonds, or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Mix well and let it sit for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens and the chia seeds expand.

    Blend the Yogurt Base: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, remaining coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.

      Combine Ingredients: Once the chia mixture is thickened, fold it into the yogurt mixture. Add the unsweetened shredded coconut and gently mix until evenly distributed.

        Line the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

          Pour and Spread: Pour the yogurt chia mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners.

            Add Toppings (Optional): Before freezing, feel free to sprinkle your choice of toppings (fresh berries, extra shredded coconut, sliced almonds, or chocolate chips) over the top of the mixture.

              Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

                Cut Into Bars: Once frozen, remove the mixture from the pan using the parchment overhang. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier cutting. Slice into bars and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

                  Enjoy these refreshing Coconut Chia Bars as a healthy snack or dessert!
