Ingredients List
For the Yogurt Bark:
- 1 ½ cups low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp granola (optional for crunch)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Yogurt Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder (if using). Stir well until the protein powder is fully incorporated into the yogurt. For a little sweetness, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
Step 2: Spread the Yogurt Mixture
Line a baking sheet or a shallow dish with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about ¼ inch thick.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly across the yogurt base. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and granola for extra crunch. You can add a drizzle of honey on top if you like extra sweetness.
Step 4: Freeze the Bark
Place the baking sheet or dish into the freezer and let the yogurt bark freeze for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm and set.
Step 5: Break and Serve
Once frozen, remove the bark from the freezer. Using your hands or a sharp knife, break the bark into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
