Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark (High Protein) Recipe

Introduction

This Key Lime Pie Yogurt Bark is a refreshing and high-protein treat perfect for warm days or a healthy snack. Combining tangy key lime juice with creamy Greek yogurt and crunchy toppings, it’s an easy, no-bake delight that’s both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat; dairy-free yogurt works too)
• 3.5 tablespoons key lime juice
• 2 tablespoons powdered swerve (or 1 tablespoon honey, adjust sweetness to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g. Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
• 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, powdered swerve (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and lime zest. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the surface to create a thin, uniform layer.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and toasted coconut evenly across the yogurt layer.
4. Step 4: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is completely frozen and set.
5. Step 5: Remove from the freezer and lift the parchment paper or silicone mat to break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces. Serve immediately or store for later.

Tips & Variations

• For a creamier texture with less ice crystals, use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of low-fat or non-fat options.
• Customize your bark by adding fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries before freezing.
• Try other toppings like sliced bananas, nut butter drizzles (peanut or almond butter), dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Storage

Store the yogurt bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent sticking, layer pieces between sheets of parchment paper or store them in a single layer. When ready to eat, enjoy straight from the freezer or let soften for a few minutes at room temperature.
