Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 2.5 cups Greek yogurt, plain, non-fat or low-fat (can substitute dairy-free yogurt)
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp powdered swerve (or substitute 1 tbsp honey; adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lime zest
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g., Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
- 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
- Additional lime zest for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, powdered swerve (or chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and lime zest. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Line the baking sheet: Place parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet to ensure easy removal of the yogurt bark once frozen.
- Spread the yogurt mixture: Evenly spread the prepared yogurt mixture over the lined baking sheet, creating a thin, uniform layer.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer for added texture and flavor.
- Freeze to set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2 to 3 hours until the yogurt is fully frozen and firm.
- Break and serve: Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer and gently lift the parchment paper or silicone mat. Break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces and enjoy immediately or store as desired.
- Storage: Store bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Keep pieces separated with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Notes
- For a creamier, less icy texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt; however, lower-fat versions also work well.
- Customize this recipe by adding fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, or fruit like bananas.
- Try additional toppings such as nut butters (peanut or almond), dark chocolate chips, granola, or nuts for variety.
- Store bark in a single layer or between parchment sheets in an airtight container to prevent sticking.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free graham crackers and appropriate yogurt.
