Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1 cup crushed oatmeal cookies (or your choice of cookie)

1/4 cup honey (substitute with maple syrup for a vegan version)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Begin by thoroughly washing the strawberries under running water. Remove the green tops (hulling) and chop the strawberries into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside to allow any excess moisture to drain.

    Create the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or a spatula, mix until the ingredients are smooth and evenly blended.

      Combine All Ingredients: Gently fold the diced strawberries, crushed oatmeal cookies, and a pinch of salt into the yogurt mixture. If you’re opting for chocolate chips, carefully fold those in as well, ensuring not to break the strawberry pieces.

        Scoop and Form Clusters: Utilize a spoon or a small ice cream scoop to portion out the mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Aim for clusters that are about 2 tablespoons each for a consistent size.

          Freeze: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are firm and completely solid.

            Serve: Once frozen to perfection, remove the clusters from the freezer. You can enjoy them right away or store any leftovers in an airtight container for later snacking.

              Optional Garnish: For an extra special touch, consider drizzling additional honey or melted chocolate over the tops of the clusters just before serving.
