High-Protein Blueberry Yogurt Bark
A cold, high-protein snack that works well for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or a lighter dessert.
Ingredients (6–8 servings)
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat for creamier texture)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 25–30g protein)
- 2–3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp chopped almonds or pistachios
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Optional:
- Dark chocolate chips
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
- Lemon zest
Equipment
- Baking tray, plate, or cutting board that fits in your freezer
- Parchment paper
- Spatula
Instructions
1. Prepare the yogurt mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Greek yogurt
- Protein powder
- Honey/maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
If the mixture becomes too thick from the protein powder, add 1–2 tbsp milk.
2. Line the tray
Place parchment paper on your tray or plate.
Spread the yogurt mixture into a rectangle about:
- ¼ to ½ inch thick
Thinner bark freezes faster and breaks more cleanly.
3. Add toppings
Scatter evenly over the surface:
- Blueberries
- Nuts
- Chia seeds
Optional additions:
- Dark chocolate chips
- Coconut flakes
- Lemon zest
Gently press toppings into the yogurt so they stick after freezing.
4. Freeze
Freeze for:
- 3–4 hours minimum
- Overnight for best texture
The bark should be completely firm.
5. Break into pieces
Remove from freezer and let sit 1–2 minutes.
Break or cut into irregular bark pieces.
