Whip up something sweet and satisfying for just you…or double the recipe and share! With Greek yogurt as the base, you’re guaranteed a protein-rich treat with some serious staying power. Add in fruit for an antioxidant- and fiber-rich punch as well as some chia seeds for appetite-easing power and jelly-like consistency. This bark will leave its mark!

Recipe notes:
The yogurt
• Be sure to scrape all the yogurt from the container to spread on your baking sheet so you get a nice, thick layer.

• I like to use 2% reduced-fat, vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt. While a nonfat (0%) Greek yogurt will also work, I find the nonfat varieties become a bit icier and less creamy.

• I prefer to buy brands without added sugar, like Oikos PRO vanilla, which is sweetened with Stevia. However, you can also buy plain 2% Greek yogurt and sweeten it up yourself by adding a sugar substitute of choice, or 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup.

• If you prefer the sour taste of plain Greek yogurt, there’s no need to buy a flavored brand—stick with the plain.

    Freezing and storage
    • Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set. Remove the baking sheet, break it up into pieces, and transfer to a freezer bag to store (this is a more efficient way to store since the baking sheet takes up so much space). It will keep for up to two months. Serve and enjoy straight from the freezer—and right before eating it—as the yogurt starts to melt pretty fast!

    • Prep time
    • Total Time
    This recipe makes 9 broken pieces
    Ingredients:

    • 4 cups sliced strawberries
    • 1 cup vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt
    • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

    Preparation:

    Add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth, about 20 seconds.

    Line a quarter baking sheet (9 x 13 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the mixture on top and even it out with a spatula or back of a spoon so it’s all the same thickness. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture. Stash in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight. Break into pieces and transfer to a freezer bag or container to free up space. Enjoy!
