How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your yogurt bark.

Mix the yogurt base

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, protein powder, lime juice, lime zest, powdered swerve (or sweetener of choice), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the baking sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, even layer.

Add the toppings

Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and lime zest evenly over the yogurt layer.

Freeze the yogurt bark

Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is fully frozen and set.

Break into pieces

Once frozen, remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper or silicone mat from the baking sheet and break the frozen yogurt bark into pieces.

Serve or store

Enjoy immediately or store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store the bark in a single layer or between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, ideal for longer storage.
