Froyo Bark

Here is a simple and super easy, frozen yogurt bark recipe to have a treat to cool you on a hot summer day. Add whatever toppings you like – for this recipe I used fresh strawberries and blueberries and some unsweetened coconut – other fruit, chocolate chips, a chocolate drizzle, nuts, seeds… whatever you feel like! The base is unsweetened Greek, or regular yogurt, sweetened with a bit of maple syrup or leave it out if you prefer the sourness of plain yogurt. You could make this with a coconut yogurt (if the brand you buy is on the firm side and not runny as I know coconut yogurt to be) to make it dairy free. 

So simple and so easy to put together, then is goes into the freezer to, well, freeze, and when ready it’s broken into pieces to enjoy!  It stores in the freezer as well so, once made, it’s ready when you need a healthy, quick, refreshing frozen treat!

Greek yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt.  It is a good source of calcium, VitB12, Riboflavin (VitB2) and selenium as well as VitA, zinc and potassium.  Plain Greek yogurt is low in carbs and has little sugar – the flavoured varieties have more sugar so eat them in moderation.

As always, when you make this recipe, I would love to see your creation so please post a photo of your Froyo Bark goodness and tag my IG account #RenataCollective or leave a comment with your thoughts!
