Frozen yogurt bark is a cold, crunchy-edged dessert you break into pieces. This version uses plain Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, and a few chocolate chips. One serving of 4 pieces has 12.1 g of protein and about 131 calories.
Serving size: 4 pieces, about 1/4 of the tray (about 170 g). Makes: 16 pieces, 4 servings.
Why This Bark Works
- Protein from Greek yogurt. 2 cups give most of the protein.
- Light sweetness. 2 tbsp maple syrup for the whole tray.
- Real fruit. 1 cup of diced strawberries.
- Easy to portion. Break it into 16 pieces and keep it frozen.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt (454 g)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (40 g)
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries (166 g)
- 2 tbsp mini semisweet chocolate chips (21 g)
Instructions
- Line a quarter sheet pan, about 9 x 13 inches (23 x 33 cm), with parchment paper.
- Stir the Greek yogurt and maple syrup until smooth.
- Spread the yogurt on the parchment in an even layer about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
- Scatter the strawberries and chocolate chips on top. Press them in gently.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours, until firm.
- Lift out the parchment and break or cut into 16 pieces.
- Serve right away. It softens quickly at room temperature.
Pat the strawberries dry first. Wet fruit makes icy spots.
