Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup of your favorite cereal (e.g., granola or puffed rice)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for an extra touch of sweetness)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Mix gently and let the strawberries sit for about 15 minutes. This marination process allows the strawberries to soften and release their natural juices.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, the remaining tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and the vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the marinated strawberries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring a gentle mix to maintain some texture. Reserve a few strawberry slices for garnishing later.

        Prepare the Cereal Base: If using granola, lightly crush it into smaller pieces for better layering. In small silicone molds or ice cube trays, spoon in a layer of the yogurt-strawberry mixture until they are filled halfway. Then, add a layer of cereal on top and press down gently to help it adhere.

          Layering: Continue by spooning more of the yogurt-strawberry mixture on top of the cereal until the molds are filled to the brim. If desired, sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on top for added sweetness and decoration.

            Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or until they are solid and firm.

              Serve: When ready to serve, gently press from the bottom of the molds to release the frozen yogurt rounds. If they are stuck, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds to help loosen them. Garnish each round with the reserved strawberry slices and a fresh mint leaf for a lovely touch.

                Enjoy: Indulge in these delightful Frozen Yogurt Strawberry Cereal Rounds as a refreshing and fun snack or dessert!
