There’s not much better than a cool treat on a hot day. Even if it’s not hot out, this easy frozen yogurt bark is still just as delicious. It’s really quick to throw together for a fast dessert or snack anytime.
This recipe is a little different than some other yogurt bark recipes because it’s higher in protein. With the healthy fats and protein it’s filling and nourishing any time of day.
Homemade Yogurt Bark
Of course, you have to start with yogurt. Either homemade yogurt or store-bought full fat Greek yogurt will work. Low fat yogurt can make the yogurt bark taste too watery. If you’re using homemade yogurt you may want to strain it for a bit first to remove the extra whey. This makes the yogurt bark a little thicker and more flavorful. If you’re in a hurry though, its really not necessary.
I’ve also included cottage cheese in this recipe variation. It adds an extra creaminess and really ups the protein more. If you don’t have cottage cheese though, then feel free to replace it with more yogurt. Our family loves the Good Culture brand since it’s grass-fed and full of probiotics.
Then there’s the added collagen. Not only does collagen supply more protein, but it supports healthier hair, nails, joints, and gut health. You’ll also see colostrum in the ingredients list. While it is optional I like that it adds benefits for the immune system, muscle recovery, metabolism, and more.
Topping Frozen Yogurt Bark
This is where the fun comes in! You can choose from almost any topping that you like. Here are some ideas to get you started.
- Fresh berries + granola
- Peanut butter drizzle + melted chocolate (add after freezing)
- Chocolate chips + coconut flakes
- Chopped nuts + cinnamon
- Freeze-dried fruit + chia seeds
Even the littlest kids can help sprinkle the toppings on. Change it up depending on what sounds good or what you have on hand.
