Greek Yogurt Bark

Quick and easy to make, this frozen yogurt bark is the perfect summer treat. Greek yogurt bark is having it’s moment on Instagram and Tik Tok these days, so I figured I’d try a few new flavours – and this might be my favourite one!

I swear every time I walk past the fridge, I open up the freezer and grab like 3 squares. It’s blood sugar balancing, full of protein, and SO delicious, it’s hard to resist!

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE YOGURT BARK INGREDIENTS

  • plain Greek yogurt – I personally like using full-fat Greek yogurt for yogurt bark because it’s thicker, but you can use regular plain yogurt if that’s all you have. Any yogurt you choose I would try and pick one with a higher fat content, so it doesn’t yield such an “icy” texture. Alternatively, you could also try a flavoured greek yogurt!
  • cream cheese – typically for greek yogurt bark I don’t use cream cheese, but I wanted a cheesecake flavour in this one! This ingredient is not necessary if you are making a general berries greek yogurt bark, or peanut butter chocolate etc!
  • protein powder – I love adding my PEScience protein powder to this recipe! My favourite is the Strawberry Cheesecake flavour, however I have used the Chocolate Peanut Butter for another frozen yogurt bark recipe, as well as the Gourmet Vanilla flavour. Use code “BAILEY” at checkout for money off all their products!
  • maple syrup or honey – this is entirely optional to use, but I do strongly suggest using it! It sweetens up the greek yogurt, without making it too sweet and adding tons of sugar! 
  • frozen raspberries – you could definitely mix up the fruit in this, or use strawberries. I used raspberries because it’s what I had on hand!
  • graham wafers – I used a gluten free brand. This gives it more of a cheesecake feel! But feel free to omit these if you’re not a big fan!

HOW TO MAKE FROZEN GREEK YOGURT

Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium size bowl, stir together the yogurt, protein powder, and maple syrup. I love using plain greek yogurt for this and adding sweetener and flavours of my choosing, so I know what’s going into the yogurt bark. If you prefer using a flavoured greek yogurt you can also do that! 

Next spread the yogurt mixture out on the baking sheet and add the frozen raspberries and graham cracker crumbs. 

Freeze for minimum 2 hours, then break up into pieces and enjoy!

CAN YOU FREEZE GREEK YOGURT?

Yes, absolutely you can! As you thaw the greek yogurt it will turn back into the same consistency pre freezing, so you want to eat the yogurt bark quick! Unless you like it a bit softer, and in that case I would leave the frozen greek yogurt out for a few minutes before eating!

GREEK YOGURT VS YOGURT

What is the difference between yogurt vs greek yogurt? Well they both contain a lot of the same ingredients. Yogurt typically contains more calcium and less calories, but greek yogurt contains a lot more protein and less sugar. 1 cup of greek yogurt calories is approximately 130 and is much thicker than regular yogurt. They both contain probiotics, and support digestion, but are much different when it comes to texture!

IS FROZEN GREEK YOGURT HEALTHY?

This depends on the type of frozen greek yogurt were talking about. If you are ordering from an ice cream store, typically the answer is no. It typically contains a ton of added sugars, making it spike your insulin and blood sugar. If you make frozen greek yogurt from home, like this yogurt bark, then it absolutely can be made healthy! Here we have added even more protein, fruit, and a splash of maple syrup to keep it low in sugar and full of healthy proteins!

The carbs in frozen yogurt can vary greatly as well. Store bought will have a higher carb content, while homemade will have much less carbs! 

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN ENJOY GREEK YOGURT

There are many other flavour combinations you could try for this greek yogurt bark. Another type I have tested is mixed berry frozen yogurt bark (pictured below). 

You could also do frozen mango greek yogurt, banana bread greek yogurt, chocolate banana peanut butter, the options are endless! You could even do a frozen berry greek yogurt smoothie to switch it up!
