Ingredients
Yogurt Base
- 2.5 cups Greek yogurt, plain, non-fat or low-fat (can substitute dairy-free yogurt)
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp powdered Swerve or 1 tbsp honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins recommended)
- 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
- Additional lime zest for sprinkling
Instructions
- Mix Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, lime zest, powdered Swerve (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the frozen bark.
- Spread Yogurt Mixture: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the lined baking sheet, creating a thin, consistent layer to ensure even freezing.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer for texture and flavor contrast.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the yogurt bark to freeze solid for at least 2 to 3 hours.
- Break Into Pieces: Once fully frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the tray and break the yogurt bark into bite-sized pieces.
- Store: Enjoy immediately or transfer the pieces into an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, placing pieces in a single layer or separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Use non-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt for a higher protein and lower calorie option.
- Sweetener can be adjusted to taste; honey is a natural alternative to powdered Swerve.
- Toasted coconut adds crunch and flavor; ensure it is unsweetened to control sugar content.
- Make sure the yogurt mixture is spread thinly and evenly to freeze thoroughly.
- Store yogurt bark properly in the freezer to prevent melting and sticking.
