Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup mixed berries (a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

½ cup Greek yogurt (choose vanilla or plain based on your preference)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (select your favorite blend, ideally containing nuts and seeds)

4 slices of whole-grain bread (or nut butter for a gluten-free alternative)

Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

Chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for additional crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into ¼-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a plate and set aside while you prepare the other components.

    Make the Berry Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries with the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of ground cinnamon if you wish. Carefully fold the mixture together using a spatula or spoon until the berries are evenly coated with the yogurt blend.

      Assemble Sandwiches: Take two slices of whole-grain bread and layer them with the banana slices, ensuring an even distribution. Spoon a generous amount of the berry mixture over the banana slices, letting it pile up attractively.

        Add Granola: Sprinkle the granola generously over the berry mixture. This step adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall texture of the sandwiches.

          Top It Off: Cover the berry granola layer with the remaining two slices of bread, forming two complete sandwiches. Press down gently to help them stick together, ensuring all the yummy fillings stay inside.

            Freeze the Sandwiches: Wrap each sandwich securely in plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent freezer burn. Place the wrapped sandwiches into an airtight container and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, or until they are completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, carefully unwrap the sandwiches and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for size. Serve them immediately for a refreshing snack or dessert that is sure to delight!
