frozen holiday yogurt bark

frozen yogurt bark

If you follow this blog, you know how much I love frozen treats – ice pops…frozen drinks….I’m a sucker for any icy goodness!

Well, I came up with a frozen, guilt-free holiday treat.  No, it is not an ice pop!  It is a frozen holiday bark!

I mixed 2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt with ¼ cup honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.  I spread this mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet to about a ¼” thick – it made an 11” x 7” slab on the parchment.

Next, I added some fun extras – dried cherries, pistachios, and cocoa chips.

So now my guilt-free creation is looking like a festive holiday bark!

I popped it into the freezer to set and then broke it into pieces to eat!  The remaining pieces are stored in a covered container in the freezer.

Fun, right?

There are so many fun variations to try – you can come up with some using your favorite extras – dried fruit, raisins, sunflower seeds, nuts, sesame seeds, etc.  I like the consistency of the chewy dried fruit with the yogurt.

I haven’t been this excited about a snack since I discovered frozen grapes!  Maybe if I make a version with lemon peel I could forgo my Thanksgiving lemon meringue pie?  Now I wouldn’t go that far!

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
