Ingredients You’ll Need

Short list, big flavor:

• Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat) – Thick, creamy, protein-packed base
• Low-calorie sweetener or honey – Optional, depending on tartness of yogurt
• Vanilla extract – Adds depth
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) – For color and flavor
• Optional toppings: Chia seeds, nuts, coconut flakes, sugar-free chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Line a tray.
   Use parchment paper on a baking sheet. This is your “bark canvas.”
2. Sweeten the yogurt.
   Mix yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla in a bowl. Taste-test—remember it’ll taste slightly less sweet when frozen.
3. Spread yogurt.
   Pour yogurt onto the lined tray and spread to about ¼–½ inch thick.
4. Add toppings.
   Scatter berries, seeds, nuts, or chocolate chips evenly. Press lightly so they stick.
5. Freeze.
   Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until fully solid.
6. Break into pieces.
   Remove from tray, peel off parchment, and snap into shards or squares.
7. Serve and store.
   Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Spreading too thickly
  Too thick = slow freeze, harder to break.
• Skipping parchment paper
  Sticky tragedy awaits. Trust the lining.
• Not pressing toppings lightly
  They’ll fall off when breaking pieces otherwise.
• Freezing for too short
  Soft yogurt = messy bark. Patience is key.
• Adding watery fruit
  Avoid fruits with excess juice; they can make yogurt soggy.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Non-dairy option:
  Use coconut or almond yogurt.
• Chocolate version:
  Mix in cocoa powder or drizzle sugar-free chocolate on top.
• Extra protein:
  Add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to the yogurt.
• Tropical flavor:
  Use mango, pineapple, or kiwi for summer vibes.
• Crunch factor:
  Sprinkle in roasted nuts or granola for texture.
