Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Greek yogurt, plain, non-fat or low-fat (can substitute with dairy-free yogurt)
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 2 tbsp powdered Swerve or 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
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, lime zest, powdered Swerve (or alternative sweetener), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
- Spread Yogurt Layer: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, uniform layer to ensure even freezing.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted coconut, and extra lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer to add texture and flavor.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours or until the yogurt bark is completely frozen and set.
- Break and Serve: Remove from the freezer, lift the parchment paper or silicone mat with the frozen yogurt bark, and break it into pieces. Enjoy immediately or keep stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, layering with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Notes
- For a creamier and less icy texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt, though low-fat options also work well.
- Customize the bark by adding fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, or fruits like banana slices.
- Additional toppings can include nut butters (peanut or almond butter), dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts to suit your preferences.
- Store yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, layering pieces with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
