A quick, easy, and nutritious snack combining creamy Greek yogurt with fresh berries and optional crunchy toppings, perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (475 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) slivered almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (475 ml) of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and evenly mixed (about 3 minutes).
  2. Line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later (2 minutes).
  3. Pour the sweetened yogurt onto the lined baking sheet. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness (4 minutes).
  4. Scatter fresh berries evenly over the yogurt surface. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds, 2 tablespoons (15 g) slivered almonds or walnuts, and 1 tablespoon (7 g) shredded coconut if using. Press toppings lightly so they stick but avoid mixing (3 minutes).
  5. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely firm.
  6. Once frozen solid, lift the bark out using the parchment paper edges and place it on a cutting board. Break or cut into irregular pieces, roughly 2×2 inches (5×5 cm) (2 minutes).
  7. Transfer the pieces to an airtight container or zip-top bag and keep frozen for up to 2 weeks. Let pieces sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before eating to soften slightly.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best results; drain excess liquid if needed to avoid icy texture. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for firm bark. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before breaking to avoid powdery pieces. Substitute dairy-free yogurt and agave syrup for vegan version. Nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds for allergies.
