This protein-rich yoghurt bark transforms a typically sugar-laden frozen treat into a balanced snack that supports lasting energy. Unlike commercial frozen yoghurt products that leave you craving more, this version combines Greek yoghurt’s protein with fibre-rich nuts and seeds, plus the natural sweetness of berries, to create a satisfying option that fuels you without the crash. The key technique of layering and proper freezing ensures a creamy texture that breaks into crisp shards instead of melting away.
Ingredients (serves 6-8):
Base Layer:
-
2 cups Greek yoghurt (unsweetened, full-fat)
-
1 scoop protein powder (unsweetened or stevia/monk fruit sweetened)
-
2 tbsp almond or peanut butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
Pinch of sea salt
Toppings:
-
1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
-
1/4 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
-
2 tbsp chia seeds
-
1 tbsp flax seeds
-
2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (70%+ cacao)
-
Extra cinnamon for sprinkling
Method:
-
Prepare the base: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yoghurt, protein powder, nut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt until completely smooth. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the protein powder to fully hydrate, then whisk again to eliminate any remaining lumps.
-
Line and pour: Line a 9x6 inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the paper comes up the sides for easy removal. Pour the yoghurt mixture onto the parchment and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly to about 1/2 inch thickness.
-
Add toppings strategically: Scatter the berries evenly across the surface, pressing them gently into the yoghurt base. Sprinkle the nuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, and dark chocolate chips over the top, ensuring even distribution. Finish with an extra light dusting of cinnamon. The key is not to overcrowd - leave some plain yoghurt space between toppings for clean breaks.
-
Freeze properly: Place in the freezer on a flat surface for at least 3-4 hours or until completely solid. For the best texture, freeze overnight. The yoghurt should be firm enough to break cleanly when tapped with a knife.
-
Break and serve: Remove from the freezer and let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife to score lines, then break into irregular shards or cut into neat squares. Serve immediately or store pieces in an airtight container in the freezer.
