Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup nut butter
• 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 large banana, diced
• 2 tbsp dry roasted peanuts, chopped
• Dark melted chocolate
• 4 dates
• 2 tbsp nut butter
• Handful of pumpkin seeds, pecans, pistachios
• 200g dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

1. Chunky Monkey Clusters: Mix the Greek yogurt, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, diced banana, and chopped peanuts in a bowl. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined sheet pan to form clusters. Freeze for 30 minutes, then drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
2. Date Chocolate Bars: Melt the dark chocolate. Pour half of the melted chocolate into a parchment-lined loaf pan and spread it evenly. Slice the dates in half and arrange them in a single layer over the chocolate. Spread the nut butter over the dates, then sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds, pecans, and pistachios. Pour the remaining chocolate over the top. Freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
