Frozen Yogurt Bark, a delightful frozen dessert that combines the goodness of yogurt, collagen, and seasonal berries. This creative twist on the classic yogurt bowl offers a completely different culinary experience when enjoyed in a frozen, bite-sized form. Not only is it a refreshing breakfast or snack option, but it also provides your gut microbiome with probiotics and collagen for overall health. So let's dive into the recipe and embark on a journey of flavor and wellness!
Ingredients:
-2 cups plain yogurt (preferably Greek or plant-based for added creaminess)
-1 scoop of Neutrient Advanced Collagen powder
-2 tablespoons honey (adjust to your desired sweetness)
-Seasonal berries of your choice (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
-Optional toppings: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or dark chocolate drizzle
Instructions:
1- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt and Neutrient Advanced Collagen powder. The collagen powder adds a good source of protein and promotes skin, joint, and gut health. Whisk the mixture until the collagen is evenly incorporated into the yogurt.
2- Add the honey to the yogurt mixture and stir well. The amount of honey can be adjusted based on your preference for sweetness.
3- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The parchment paper will prevent the frozen yogurt bark from sticking and make it easier to remove and break into pieces later.
4- Pour the sweetened yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
5- Now comes the fun part! Scatter your choice of seasonal berries on top of the yogurt mixture. The burst of colors will not only look enticing but also provide a wealth of antioxidants and vitamins.
6- For an extra touch of flavor and texture, consider sprinkling sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of dark chocolate over the berries. Get creative with your toppings!
7- Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the yogurt bark to freeze for at least one hour or until it becomes firm.
8- Once the yogurt bark is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Use a knife to break it into bite-sized pieces. The beauty of frozen yogurt bark lies in the joy of biting into these delightful morsels.
Whether you enjoy it as a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon delight, this Frozen Yogurt Bark is a delightful addition to your healthy snacking repertoire. So follow the directions, get creative with toppings, and savor the goodness of this frozen delight. Your taste buds and gut will thank you for it!
