Ingredients for Frozen Yogurt Bark
The best part about this recipe is that you can customize it with whatever ingredients you have on hand. I usually will make it when I get to the end of my grocery cycle. I grocery shop every 3-4 weeks and stick to a budget of $135/person per month.
My strawberries stay fresh for three weeks and blueberries last for up to six weeks when washing and storing them correctly. Sometimes when we get towards the end of the grocery shopping cycle we are tired of berries so it's helpful to have a new way to enjoy them. This frozen yogurt bark is a way to use up the berries so that they don't go to waste.
You can also use toppings such as nuts, granola, or coconut flakes to add additional flavor.
How to Make Frozen Yogurt Bark
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you’re using fresh strawberries, chop them up before adding them to the yogurt. Blueberries can be used whole.
Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base
In a bowl, mix your yogurt with protein powder and sweetener of choice. This enhances the flavor and gives you an option to add additional protein.
Step 3: Spread and Add Toppings
Line a tray with parchment paper and spread the yogurt mixture evenly. Make sure that the tray you select can fit into your freezer. Add your fruits, nuts, or any additional toppings.
Step 4: Freeze Until Solid
Place the tray in the freezer and let it set overnight or for at least 3-4 hours until fully frozen.
Step 5: Break Into Pieces and Enjoy
Once frozen, break the yogurt bark into bite-sized pieces and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
Tips for Storing and Serving Frozen Yogurt Bark
Once it is made, the frozen yogurt bark can be broken into smaller pieces and stored in the freezer. Storing it in an airtight glass container will keep it fresh for a few weeks. It’s a perfect grab-and-go snack or a nutritious breakfast option.
