Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose your favorite flavor)

1 cup protein powder (vanilla or any flavor you prefer)

1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added sweetness)

1 cup fresh fruit, diced (strawberries, blueberries, or bananas work beautifully)

1 cup granola or chopped nuts (for delightful crunch)

8 large rice cakes or whole grain cookies (for a crispier texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Incorporate Add-ins: Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips and diced fresh fruit into the yogurt base. Stir gently to evenly distribute the mix-ins without breaking down the fruit.

      Create the Sandwiches: On a flat surface, take one rice cake or cookie and generously spread a layer of the yogurt mixture over it. Sprinkle a layer of granola or chopped nuts on top of the yogurt, then place a second rice cake or cookie on top to form a sandwich. Lightly press down to secure the layers together.

        Freeze the Sandwiches: Arrange the filled sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue assembling until all the yogurt mixture has been used. Cover the sandwiches with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container, then place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

          Serve and Savor: Once fully frozen, take the sandwiches out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes before indulging. For an extra touch, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the top or sprinkle with a hint of sea salt before serving.

              - Presentation Tips: Serve these delightful sandwiches on a colorful platter, and consider garnishing with a few pieces of the fresh fruit used in the filling for a vibrant presentation.
