Very Berry Yogurt Bark

A Guilt Free, Healthy Dessert!

I waited WAY too long to try this. Now that I have, it's one of my number one go-to sweet treats! And its so easy to make. I can't take all the credit since this is literally all over Pinterest, however I always enjoy adding my own twist to recipes to make it my own (or skinnier!).

  This post is short and sweet, because it really is super easy! It's also extremely flexible. You have the freedom to choose whatever flavor of yogurt, whatever berries, and whatever add-ons you's like. For me, I grabbed my ingredients from what I already had in the fridge!

This is a low sugar, high protein snack or dessert! You can hardly go wrong. The key is choosing a nonfat yogurt that is already sweet but low in sugar, and choosing healthy toppings to make it your own.

Here's what I used:

  • Small to Medium Sized Baking Pan 
  • Parchment Paper
  • Light & Fit Greek Vanilla Yogurt (approx 18 oz)
  • Mixed Berries (I used Target's frozen Antioxidant Blend) 
  • Splenda/Stevia/other sugar substitute (optional)

The How-To:

  1. Cut or tear enough parchment paper to cover your baking pan entirely, and lay it across your pan
  2. Pour the yogurt on to the pan and spread evenly. I like mine about a quarter inch thick.
  3. Spread your toppings (in this case, berries!) evenly on top of the yogurt. I pressed some lighter berries in that didn't already sink.
  4. Sprinkle your sugar substitute to give your your treat extra sweetness!
  5. Set pan in the freezer for at least an hour.
  6. When it is completely hardened, break bark into smaller pieces. (I essentially picked up the parchment paper with the slab of yogurt attached and began breaking in half multiple times).
  7. Enjoy!!
