It combines tangy key lime flavor with creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy graham crackers, and toasted coconut for a delightful texture. Plus, it’s easy to make and freezer-friendly.

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)

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.
