Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2.5 cups Greek yogurt plain, non-fat or low-fat (can substitute dairy-free yogurt of choice)
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 2 tbsp powdered swerve or substitute 1 tbsp honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g. Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
- 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
- Lime zest (additional for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, powdered swerve (or sweetener of choice), vanilla extract, and lime zest. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined ensuring an even lime flavor throughout.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and easy removal.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the prepared baking sheet to form a thin, consistent layer for optimal freezing and texture.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted coconut, and extra lime zest evenly over the surface of the yogurt layer for crunch and flavor contrast.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2–3 hours or until the yogurt mixture is completely frozen and firm.
- Break into Pieces: Once frozen, remove the sheet from the freezer, lift the parchment or mat out, and break the frozen yogurt bark into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When storing, place pieces in a single layer or between parchment sheets to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Using full-fat Greek yogurt provides a creamier texture and less icy consistency, but light or low-fat versions also work well.
- Customize your yogurt bark by adding fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for additional flavor and nutrients.
- Other tasty toppings include sliced bananas, nut butters (peanut or almond), dark chocolate chips, granola, nuts, or seeds.
- Storage: Keep the bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store bark pieces separated by parchment to avoid sticking.
