Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

2 ripe bananas, sliced into thick rounds

1 cup yogurt (choose between vanilla or plain)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (for a delightful crunch)

8 wooden or metal skewers

Wax paper (to line the baking sheet)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Work Area: Start by lining a baking sheet with wax paper. This ensures your coated skewers can be easily transferred to the freezer without sticking.

    Mix the Yogurt Dip: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if you want an extra touch of sweetness), and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it's smooth and well blended, creating a creamy dip.

      Skewer the Fruits: Take a skewer and carefully alternate threading the strawberry halves and banana slices onto it. Aim to include 3-4 pieces of each fruit per skewer, leaving some space at each end for comfortable handling.

        Dip the Skewers: After assembling all the fruit skewers, take each one and dip it into the yogurt mixture, making sure to coat the fruit generously. Allow any excess yogurt to drip off.

          Add Crunch: Next, roll each yogurt-coated skewer in the granola, ensuring that the granola sticks well to the yogurt. This will create a delightful crunchy exterior for your fruit skewers.

            Freeze the Skewers: Carefully place the coated skewers on the lined baking sheet. Transfer them to the freezer and let them freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy, take the frozen skewers out of the freezer. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a minute or two. This softens them slightly, making for easier biting. Enjoy your refreshing and delicious frozen fruit treat!
