Say hello to your new favourite [healthy] sweet snack! I’m a big fan of Greek yogurt because it’s nutritious, high-protein, and super versatile! It makes a great base for healthy desserts.
I am in love with frozen yogurt and make it A LOT. But have you tried frozen yogurt bark? It’s the quick ‘n’ easy little sister of frozen yogurt.
I’ve been making frozen yogurt bark for years, well before it was an internet sensation. I use Greek yogurt as a base, and then add whatever topping I have on hand such as nuts, fresh or dried fruit, coconut flakes, chocolate chips. Each time I make it, its different but still always delish.
When your sweet tooth strikes, this Mint Protein Yogurt Bark is going to be your best friend. No joke. Whether it’s a midnight snack sesh or a midday treat, this bark is the perfect way to satisfy your sugar craving without all the guilt. Plus it’s so dang easy to make! The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the yogurt bark to freeze up so you can eat it. 🙂
Yogurt Bark is a recipe ‘sensation’ that has been circulating the internet for some time now. If there’s one trend I can get behind, it’s this viral frozen yogurt bark. As soon as I saw this trend pop up, I had to make it. I mean, how cute are these?! Making this was truly a no-brainer.
Its a triple threat kinda treat: so easy, so delish, and so pretty. There is minimal ingredients involved. So ideal! I’d argue it can also be enjoyed as a snack, not just a dessert. Who’s with me?
Perfect sweet and salty treat for parties, pot lucks, dessert platters or family gatherings. Or just an any time snack! It is super easy to whip up and store in the freezer for a high protein healthy dessert or snack that will satisfy your sweet cravings.
It’s high in protein. Greek yogurt is really good for you. It’s rich in important nutrients like protein and calcium, and adding a source of protein to our sweet snacks can help to slow the rise in our blood sugars, keeping levels stabilized and helping us feel fuller for longer. Regular yogurt also has protein in it, but Greek yogurt contains more.
For best results, freeze the Greek yogurt bark for a minimum of 4 hours until it hardens, before diving in!
