A refreshing, nutritious frozen yogurt bark packed with protein and antioxidants, perfect for post-workout muscle recovery and a guilt-free snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup protein powder. Stir gently until smooth and no lumps remain (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup and fold evenly. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired (1-2 minutes).
  4. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness (2-3 minutes).
  5. Scatter 1 cup mixed berries, 1/4 cup chopped nuts, and optional chia seeds, lemon zest, or chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Press lightly so toppings stick but do not submerge (3 minutes).
  6. Freeze the tray for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Avoid disturbing while freezing.
  7. Once fully frozen, lift the bark out using the parchment paper edges and break into irregular pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and better freezing results. Stir protein powder thoroughly to avoid lumps. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Store bark pieces in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Let thaw 5 minutes before eating for best texture. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt and plant-based protein powder for vegan option.
