These recipes are proof that you can have healthy summer snacking

It is possible to have healthy snacks over the summer.

Julie Balsamo, MS, RDN, joined us three yogurt bar recipes.

She says the snacks are healthy, in part, because of the Greek yogurt that is in them.

She says just one cup of Greek yogurt contains almost 20 grams of protein. And, it's packed with nutrients like B12, calcium, potassium and iodine. Plus, most yogurts contain live bacteria which help to support a healthy & diverse microbiome.
