Snack time just got exciting with this recipe for energy boosting Frozen Yogurt Bark; greek yogurt sweetened with honey and topped with chocolate chips, strawberries and coconut!
So school is back for all kids in the UK now which officially means summer is over. Boo!!
Thankfully the weather is still pretty mild here but that means my fussy eater is still shouting for ice cream and popsicles as a post-nursery snack.
I made some Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Barkearlier in the summer but this time I wanted to experiment with a lower sugar recipe.
And this healthy frozen yogurt bark is a seriously tasty way to satisfy their sweet tooth without all the added sugar that comes with shop bought popsicles and ice creams.
What Yogurt Should You Use?
I chose the Classic Total Greek Yogurt for this recipe which is just a plain greek yogurt.
I buy this a lot as it has one of the lowest sugar contents I can find in the supermarkets.
Obviously it is unsweetened so for kids you may need to add something sweet to it to make it a little more appealing to younger palates.
But personally I prefer to add my own natural sweeteners like a little honey or good quality maple syrup rather than having the refined white stuff pre-added.
Any plain yogurt will work though so it’s really down to personal preference.
You could also use a nice creamy vanilla yogurt or even a flavoured one! It just depends on what you like and how healthy you want your frozen bark to be!
My fussy eater and I had a lot of fun making this Frozen Yogurt Bark.
She chose the toppings (no surprise there considering there is chocolate involved!) but I was able to sneak some raisins, cranberries and coconut flakes into the mixture!
Almost any type of dried fruit and nuts would work in this recipe.
Fresh berries are also perfect for decorating the top as they freeze really well as well as adding a great pop of color to the bark making it colourful and enticing to children.

Press a piece of parchment against the top of the yogurt to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze until hard, at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve the frozen yogurt: When ready to serve, let the frozen yogurt sit on the counter for 20 to 30 minutes, until just soft enough to scoop.
In this comparison, frozen yogurt ranks as the overall healthiest dessert. One serving of froyo has less than one-fifth as many calories as the same amount of ice cream, making it a good choice if you are trying to lose or maintain weight.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Whisk together the yogurt, honey, vanilla, and salt. Pour onto the baking sheet and spread into an even layer about 1/2-inch thick. Scatter the strawberries and nuts evenly over the yogurt, pressing them in lightly.
Store in an Airtight Container: Transfer the broken frozen yogurt bark pieces into an airtight container or freezer-safe container. This prevents freezer burn and keeps the bark fresh and delicious. You can separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Yes, you can freeze yogurt to eat like ice cream. Note that the texture may be firmer compared to store-bought frozen yogurt or ice cream, but it still makes a refreshing and healthy snack. How long does yogurt last if I freeze it? Yogurt lasts for one to two months in the freezer.
You can absolutely serve the strawberry Greek yogurt immediately in glasses as a milk shake or a smoothie. But to serve it as a frozen yogurt treat, you do need to freeze it for at least 6 hours until it hardens. Take it out of the freezer and allow it to sit for a few minutes so it is easier to scoop and serve.
TCBY. With the highest number of live active cultures—aka probiotics, which offer numerous health benefits—included (seven different microbes!), this is the top pick among healthy frozen yogurts. Compared to other brands, TCBY boasted a higher amount of vitamin A, vitamin D, and calcium.
If you have diabetes or insulin resistance, you'll probably want a lower sugar option. In that case, it might make more sense to choose ice cream as an occasional treat. Look for reduced sugar or no-sugar-added varieties. If you're limiting your fat intake, frozen yogurt will be a better choice for you.
In many cases, wax paper and parchment paper can be used interchangeably. They're both great for wrapping food for travelling or display. They can be used to cool chocolate-coated sweets and for making chocolate bark.
Corn starch - Yogurt producers reduce production costs by adding it to yogurt. When they use a low-quality, low-fat dairy base for yogurt, it won't thicken naturally, or thicken to a nice texture, so corn starch can make up for that, the same way adding corn starch to a cheap, watery sauce turns it into a thick gravy.
We're changing the frozen snack game from the inside. We took ice cream's delicious reputation and made it better with incredibly creamy frozen Greek yogurt, and all the craveworthy flavors and fixings the freezer aisle can handle.
Eating foods high in protein and fiber may help keep you full without spiking your blood sugar. Foods like non-starchy vegetables, eggs, flaxseeds, and Greek yogurt can encourage healthy post-meal blood sugar levels and help you maintain healthy glycemic control.
The best method will depend on how you plan to use it and the freezer space available. It is best to freeze plain yogurt, but it will work with flavored yogurt, too. If looking for a low sugar option, try this strawberry yogurt, vanilla yogurt, or mango yogurt.
Fresh yoghurt freezes remarkably well for up to two months. Upon thawing, the texture may change slightly and appear to be more liquid or grainy than it originally was. A simple fix is to stir vigorously for 30 seconds before using to even out the texture.
In comparison to some dairy products that grainy after freezing (like sour cream or cottage cheese), Greek yogurt freezes beautifully. While it may appear to separate after thawing, simply stir it and it returns to its original texture. It works to eat fresh, or to use in cooked or baked recipes.
Put fresh, active yogurt in clean freezer-safe containers. We find ice cube trays to be quite convenient. Fill each cube with the amount of yogurt that it will take to culture 1 cup of milk.
The best method is scooping yogurt into individual ice cube trays. Doing so helps to ensure that none of it goes to waste. Place your tray in the freezer and allow it to freeze for about four hours. Then, remove the cubes from the tray and place them in a freezer-safe bag for more long-term storage.
