Craving something sweet, creamy, and refreshing that also happens to be good for you? These Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars deliver all the decadence of a dessert without the guilt. Each bar is naturally sweetened and packed with protein, making it a smart choice for both kids and adults during hot summer days.

Easy to make and requiring no oven at all, this recipe is the answer for anyone looking to beat the heat while enjoying a wholesome treat that satisfies those peanut butter cravings.

Why These Bars Are Your Summer Snack Solution

Unlike sugar-laden ice cream treats, these frozen yogurt bars use Greek yogurt for a tangy, protein-rich base, swirled with real peanut butter and natural sweetener for a deeply satisfying flavor. Add a crunchy topping, and you’ve got a perfect balance of creamy, salty, sweet, and crunchy that’s both crowd-pleasing and good for your body.

Making the Creamiest Base

For the silkiest bars, use a high-powered blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black to fully incorporate yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth. This ensures an airy, fluffy texture that freezes beautifully (no icy crunch—just creamy delight).

When pouring the mixture into your pan, line it first with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet for effortless removal and perfect bar-shaped treats.

Easy Assembly & Crunchy Topping

Simply spread the mixture into your lined pan and top with mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or granola. To achieve even cuts and avoid sticking, use a sharp knife or slide out the bars by lifting the parchment edges.

Storing leftovers? Keep your bars frozen in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup). These seal in freshness and make grabbing a snack quick and tidy.

Serving Suggestions for Wow Factor

Serve these bars as an after-school snack, healthy dessert, or cool post-workout bite. For picnics, lay them out on a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White so everyone can grab one — mess-free! For a special touch, drizzle a bit of extra melted peanut butter or a sprinkle of sea salt on top just before serving.
