Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups Greek yogurt For a creamy, protein-packed base. Recommended brands: Fage or Chobani.
  • 5 tablespoons maple syrup Adds natural sweetness; pure maple syrup is best, honey can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder Any quality whey or plant-based protein works well; a pea protein is suitable for vegans.
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract Always use pure vanilla extract for the deepest flavor.
Fruit Toppings
  • 3/4 cup strawberries Hulled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds; fresh or frozen will work.
  • 3/4 cup blueberries Fresh or frozen, ensure they're naturally sweetened.
Optional Crunch
  • 2/3 cup granola Choose your favorite variety; maple or nut-based granola is recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy removal of the bark later.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy, achieving a silky texture free of lumps.
  3. Pour and spread the yogurt mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet using a spatula for an even, thick layer.
  4. Scatter the sliced strawberries and blueberries evenly on top, and sprinkle granola if desired.
Freezing
  1. Place your baking sheet in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until solid. Check for firmness by gently poking the bark; if it feels hard all the way through, it’s ready.
Serving
  1. After freezing, let the bark sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Use the parchment paper to lift the bark out and cut it into pieces with a sharp knife.

Notes

Store your Frozen Yogurt Bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For optimal texture, ensure the yogurt mixture is well-mixed and not too thick prior to spreading. Consider decorative arrangements of fruits for better presentation.
