How to Make Strawberry Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark

1. Line Your Pan with Parchment

Parchment paper makes removing the frozen bark from the pan much easier and makes cleanup a breeze. If you don’t have parchment, a silicone baking sheet will also work.

2. Mix and Spread the Yogurt

Stirring the yogurt with the sweetener and vanilla in a bowl before spreading it onto the baking sheet evenly distributes the flavor. Spread the yogurt mixture to the edges of the parchment paper, taking care not to let it flow over onto the pan. Sprinkle the strawberries and chips over the top.

3. Freeze It!

It should take about 3 hours for the bark to firm up in the freezer. Once it’s fully frozen, cut the bark with a sharp knife or break it into pieces. Wrap pieces in parchment and keep in the freezer for an easy grab-and-go snack or dessert.

Ingredient Swaps to Try

• Instead of fresh fruit, try freeze-dried fruit. You can leave pieces whole or either chop or grind into a powder. 
• Grab your favorite dark chocolate bar and chop it finely and use that in place of the mini chocolate chips. 
• Try different fruits, like raspberries, blueberries or sliced bananas. Finely chopped mango, peaches and cherries would also be fun to try.
• You can add some crunch with your favorite chopped nuts, coconut chips or granola. 
• Swirl in some nut butter, melted chocolate or jam to the yogurt mixture for another layer of flavor.

Tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen

These are the key tips we learned while developing and testing this recipe in our Test Kitchen to make sure it works, tastes great and is good for you too!

• If you prefer a thinner yogurt bark, divide the yogurt mixture between two large rimmed baking sheets. Scatter the strawberries and chocolate chips evenly between the two baking sheets. A thinner yogurt bark will be crisp but can melt faster, so be sure to enjoy it quickly from the freezer.
• After 2 hours of freezing, you can pull the bark out of the freezer and use a knife to score the bark into 32 pieces. This will make it easier to fully cut or break apart once completely frozen.
• Smaller bites are fun! Consider cutting bark into smaller pieces to make them “one-bite.” These are perfect for small hands, and it also makes enjoying them less messy since you can pop them directly into your mouth!
  

Nutrition Notes

• Strained Greek-style yogurt makes the perfect base for this bark. Its high protein content makes it satiating, plus it’s rich in other vitamins and minerals, including riboflavin (B2), vitamin B12 and selenium, that keep your body running smoothly.
• Strawberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, natural anti-inflammatory agents that help reduce chronic inflammation. They’re also good sources of both soluble and insoluble fiber, which benefit the gut microbiome and gastrointestinal health.
