Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat for higher protein; can substitute dairy-free yogurt)
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp powdered Swerve (or 1 tbsp honey, adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lime zest
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g., Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
- 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
- Additional lime zest for sprinkling
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, powdered Swerve (or honey), vanilla extract, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, uniform layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut flakes, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the yogurt bark freeze for at least 2-3 hours until fully set and firm.
- Break and Serve: Remove from the freezer, lift the bark from the parchment or mat, and break it into pieces with a sharp knife or your hands.
- Storage: Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store in a single layer or between parchment sheets to prevent sticking.
Notes
- For a creamier and less icy texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt; lower-fat options work but may result in a more icy consistency.
- Customize your bark by adding fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), banana slices, nut butters (peanut, almond), dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts.
- Consume yogurt bark within 2 weeks to maintain best texture and flavor.
- Store in a single layer or separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking when freezing.
