Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain or coconut-flavored for added sweetness)

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (for a tropical touch)

1/2 cup almond butter (or substitute with your favorite nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for flavor depth)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (to enhance flavors)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans for crunch)

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for a chocolatey twist)

Fresh fruit pieces (like diced mangoes or colorful berries) for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt into a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Carefully fold in the shredded unsweetened coconut and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly mixed without overworking the yogurt mixture.

      If you choose to add a chocolatey element, gently incorporate the mini chocolate chips at this stage, being careful not to disturb the texture of the yogurt.

        Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, which will make it easy to clean up later. Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, dollop the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper to form clusters. Space them approximately one inch apart for some spreading as they freeze.

          Once all the yogurt mixture has been shaped into clusters, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are solid and firm to the touch.

            After they are completely frozen, carefully lift the clusters from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. These delightful treats will stay fresh and delicious for up to one month. For an extra touch, consider adding fresh fruit on top right before serving for a burst of freshness.

              Enjoy these sweet coconut yogurt clusters as a nutritious snack or a protein-packed breakfast option. For a creamier experience, let them thaw slightly before eating, or enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat.
