Ingredients:
• 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional for extra protein)
• 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup almonds, chopped (optional for added crunch)
• Parchment paper
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and protein powder (if using).
• Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Line a Baking Sheet:
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the paper extends over the edges for easy lifting later.
3. Spread the Yogurt:
• Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
• Use a spatula to spread the yogurt evenly to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
4. Add the Toppings:
• Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries and blueberries over the yogurt.
• Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top if you’re using them.
5. Freeze:
• Place the baking sheet in the freezer.
• Freeze for at least 2-3 hours or until the yogurt is completely solid.
6. Break into Pieces:
• Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer.
• Lift the frozen yogurt bark out of the baking sheet using the parchment paper edges.
• Break the bark into pieces of your desired size.
7. Serve and Store:
• Enjoy immediately or store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer.
• The bark can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Tips:
• Feel free to experiment with different fruits and nuts to suit your taste. Maybe even chocolate chips!
• For a creamier texture, you can mix in a bit of cream cheese with the yogurt mixture.
• Add a sprinkle of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra boost of nutrients.
