Introduction
When the weather heats up, or when I just need a late-night snack that won’t derail my health goals, this Greek Yogurt Bark is my savior. It’s like eating frozen yogurt, but in a fun, breakable “candy bar” form. It’s incredibly refreshing, keeps in the freezer for weeks, and is so fun to customize with whatever fruit or nuts you have in the pantry.

Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toppings:
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a spatula to spread the yogurt into an even layer, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Immediately sprinkle your strawberries, blueberries, nuts, and chocolate chips over the top. Press them gently into the yogurt so they stick.
- Place the baking sheet flat in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely frozen solid.
- Remove from the freezer and use your hands to snap the bark into jagged pieces (shards).
- Eat immediately or store the pieces in a freezer-safe bag for later.
Tips
Don’t use non-fat yogurt if you can avoid it; the higher water content makes the bark icy. Full-fat (5%) Greek yogurt results in a creamier bite that isn’t rock hard.
