What a fun way to enjoy yogurt and berries! This chilly sugar-free dessert pleases both kids and adults. I eat these ice pops for breakfast too, they are so good. A perfect way to start a day, especially now during hot summer.
For vegans and for those who don’t use dairy (paleo, for example), I created a vegan version. This modification and some other ideas for variations you find from the end of the post, like usual.

Crisp Bread (Dairy-Free)
There are those rainy summer days when I don’t want to leave the house but get warm and cozy inside. Maybe I heat the oven and bake some of my all-time favorite munchies for comfort. This superb crisp bread is one of my all-time favorite munchies. Crunchy, tasty and crispy, without gluten and as healthful as possible, it might become one of your all-time favorite munchies as well.
Munch this crunchy crisp bread just like that, or with butter and cheese. For real comfort, top it with sugar-free strawberry or raspberry jam. My favorite way to eat this bread, in addition to load a slice with butter and cheese, is to crumble it over my breakfast yogurt — it’s just like granola, but not sweet, though.

Sweet cherry is simply part of summer with its fruitiness, vanilla stevia gives an elegant hint of this fantastic flavor while lime juice plays an important role in freshening the flavors with a tangy yet smooth kick of citrus.

Fresh Sugar-Free Cucumber Pickles (Vegan)
This accompaniment is just made for those hot and lazy summer days when you don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen and when you don’t want to have anything too hearty and heavy.

You can prepare this salad beforehand, but as it’s fresh pickles, you don’t need to wait for days or weeks before enjoying — this tangy tidbit is ready within two hours.

Tangy Greek Yogurt Frosting
It’s time for some fresh spring flavors. Here in Finland we still enjoy (not!) occasional heavy snowing, but nothing prevents from dreaming of sunny and warm spring days. And dreaming is much easier while spreading some of this tangy, sweet and sour spread on freshly-baked muffins. So great for breakfast… wakes you up! Or with afternoon coffee when in need for some energy.

Grain-Free “Whole Grain” Crackers
I was planning to develop a recipe for crisp bread and had the idea for the basic ingredients for quite some time. I wanted to check how it works and of course develop the recipe as good as I can. Well, instead of a replacement for traditional crisp bread the result is this: Grain-Free “Whole Grain” Crackers. I call them “whole grain” because they look and feel like they would be made from whole grains. But no, no grains or gluten here. Just hearty healthy unblanched organic almonds topped off with beneficial extra virgin olive oil.
These wholesome “whole grain” crackers without whole grains are tasty carriers for all kinds of low-carb delicacies like spreads, butter, ham, cheese, veggies or eggs. Even jam and other sweet spreads go well with these tidbits, especially if you omit the salt or reduce it remarkably. Naturally, the crackers are great munchies as such. Try them yourself!
