Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt, non-fat or low-fat
- 3.5 tbsp key lime juice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp powdered swerve or 1 tbsp honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
Toppings
- 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (e.g., Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)
- 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
- Additional lime zest for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, powdered swerve (or honey), vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lime zest. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Spread the mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Evenly spread the prepared yogurt mixture over the lined sheet into a thin, uniform layer to ensure consistent freezing and texture.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted unsweetened coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer to add texture and extra flavor layers.
- Freeze the bark: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is completely frozen and firm to the touch.
- Serve and store: Once frozen, remove the sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment or silicone mat to break the solid bark into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy immediately or transfer pieces to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Notes
- For a creamier, less icy consistency, use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of non-fat or low-fat varieties.
- This recipe is highly customizable; add fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even sliced bananas for variety.
- Other delicious toppings include nut butters (peanut, almond), dark chocolate chips, granola, and nuts to personalize the recipe.
- Store bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks; use parchment paper between layers to keep pieces from sticking together.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy removal and less mess.
