Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat for higher protein; dairy-free yogurt can be substituted)
  • 3.5 tablespoons key lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons powdered Swerve or 1 tablespoon honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/3 cup crushed gluten-free graham crackers (such as Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins)

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (regular or dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, powdered sweetener (or honey), lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the sheet, creating a thin, uniform layer.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.
  4. Step 4: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2–3 hours, or until the yogurt bark is fully frozen and set.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the freezer, lift the parchment paper or silicone mat, and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.
  6. Step 6: Enjoy immediately or store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a few fresh berries before freezing.
  • Use flavored protein powder, such as vanilla bean or coconut, to enhance the taste.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to change sweetness options.
  • To prevent sticking, layer pieces between sheets of parchment paper when storing.

Storage

Store the yogurt bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To prevent sticking, place parchment paper between layers. No need to thaw before eating — simply enjoy straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing snack.
