How to Make It

Creating mixed berry yogurt bark is easy and fun.

1. Line

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make it easy to remove the bark afterward.

2. Mix

Mix yogurt and honey or maple syrup until well combined. This ensures that the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

3. Spread

Spread the yogurt mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Make sure it’s about 1/2 inch thick for optimal freezing.

4. Top

Top with mixed berries and sprinkle on granola and nuts or seeds, if using. This adds texture and flavor contrasts to the yogurt.

5. Freeze

Freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely firm. This time allows the yogurt to solidify into a delicious snack.

6. Break

Break into pieces and enjoy as a healthy snack or dessert. Each piece should be crisp on the edges and creamy in the center.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Yes, it freezes well for longer storage.
Reheat: No reheating needed; enjoy straight from the freezer.

• Use a thick Greek yogurt for creamier bark.
