Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Mixing Spoon or Silicone Spatula
  • 1 Baking Sheet (medium to large size)
  • 1 Sheet of parchment paper
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Rolling Pin (optional, for breaking bark)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup raw honey
  • 3 scoops unflavored collagen peptides or protein powder
  • ¾ cup granola
  • ½ cup chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt. Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for the best creamy texture.
    Add the raw honey for natural sweetness and the collagen peptides (or unflavored protein powder if you prefer).
    Using a spatula or large spoon, stir the mixture slowly at first, then whisk until everything is completely blended.
    The mixture should look thick, smooth, and slightly glossy with no clumps of powder.
  • Line the Baking Sheet: Take out a medium-to-large baking sheet and line it with a piece of parchment paper, making sure the paper reaches the edges and lays flat.
    This step is crucial because it prevents the yogurt bark from sticking to the pan once frozen.
    If needed, lightly crease or fold the parchment at the corners to keep it in place.
  • Spread the Yogurt Mixture: Pour the yogurt-honey-protein mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
    Using the back of a spoon or a spatula, gently spread it into an even layer about ½ inch thick.
    Try to keep the edges as smooth as possible, but don’t worry if they look rustic — that’s part of the charm of yogurt bark.
    Make sure the thickness is even so the bark freezes uniformly.
  • Add the Crunchy Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the granola across the surface of the yogurt layer, covering as much of the surface as possible for crunch in every bite.
    Next, scatter the chia seeds over the top. These add fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and extra texture.
    If you’d like to customize your bark, now is the perfect time to add optional toppings such as dried fruit, dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or fresh berries.
    Lightly press the toppings into the yogurt layer with clean hands or the back of a spoon so they freeze securely in place.
  • Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet flat in your freezer, making sure it’s not tilted to prevent uneven layers.
    Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing the bark to set completely solid.
    This slow freezing process ensures that the bark holds its shape and breaks into clean pieces later.
  • Break Into Pieces: Once fully frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer.
    Lift the parchment paper to release the entire frozen slab from the pan.
    Place it on a clean cutting board or countertop. Using your hands, carefully break the bark into rustic, uneven pieces.
    For more uniform chunks, you can gently tap the back of a rolling pin across the bark until it cracks.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the broken pieces into a serving bowl or enjoy them straight from the cutting board.
    This frozen yogurt bark melts quickly, so serve it immediately if eating fresh.
    For storage, place any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the freezer until ready to enjoy again.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for a creamier, less icy bark texture.
  • Mix the collagen or protein powder thoroughly to avoid clumps in the yogurt base.
  • Press toppings lightly into the yogurt so they freeze securely and don’t fall off when broken.
  • Keep the bark thickness around ½ inch for the best texture and easy breaking.
  • Freeze the bark flat for at least 8 hours; shorter freezing times may result in a soft, sticky texture.
  • Break the bark by hand for rustic pieces or use a rolling pin for neater chunks.
  • Store leftovers immediately in the freezer to prevent melting and ice crystal formation.
  • Customize the toppings with dried fruit, seeds, nuts, or dark chocolate for variety.
  • Always use parchment paper — it prevents sticking and makes bark removal easy.
  • Serve straight from the freezer, as yogurt bark melts quickly at room temperature.
