Snack time just got exciting with this recipe for energy boosting Frozen Yogurt Bark; greek yogurt sweetened with honey and topped with chocolate chips, strawberries and coconut!
So school is back for all kids in the UK now which officially means summer is over. Boo!!
Thankfully the weather is still pretty mild here but that means my fussy eater is still shouting for ice cream and popsicles as a post-nursery snack.
I made some Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Barkearlier in the summer but this time I wanted to experiment with a lower sugar recipe.
And this healthy frozen yogurt bark is a seriously tasty way to satisfy their sweet tooth without all the added sugar that comes with shop bought popsicles and ice creams.
What Yogurt Should You Use?
I chose the Classic Total Greek Yogurt for this recipe which is just a plain greek yogurt.
I buy this a lot as it has one of the lowest sugar contents I can find in the supermarkets.
Obviously it is unsweetened so for kids you may need to add something sweet to it to make it a little more appealing to younger palates.
But personally I prefer to add my own natural sweeteners like a little honey or good quality maple syrup rather than having the refined white stuff pre-added.
Any plain yogurt will work though so it’s really down to personal preference.
You could also use a nice creamy vanilla yogurt or even a flavoured one! It just depends on what you like and how healthy you want your frozen bark to be!
My fussy eater and I had a lot of fun making this Frozen Yogurt Bark.
She chose the toppings (no surprise there considering there is chocolate involved!) but I was able to sneak some raisins, cranberries and coconut flakes into the mixture!
Almost any type of dried fruit and nuts would work in this recipe.
Fresh berries are also perfect for decorating the top as they freeze really well as well as adding a great pop of color to the bark making it colourful and enticing to children.

You can absolutely serve the strawberry Greek yogurt immediately in glasses as a milk shake or a smoothie. But to serve it as a frozen yogurt treat, you do need to freeze it for at least 6 hours until it hardens. Take it out of the freezer and allow it to sit for a few minutes so it is easier to scoop and serve.
Turn plain yogurt into cool and creamy popsicles by blending it with fresh fruit, then freezing until solid. Enjoy for breakfast or as a refreshing afternoon snack.
Yes, you can freeze yogurt to eat like ice cream. Note that the texture may be firmer compared to store-bought frozen yogurt or ice cream, but it still makes a refreshing and healthy snack. How long does yogurt last if I freeze it? Yogurt lasts for one to two months in the freezer.
Significantly, frozen yogurt can also contain probiotics, or live active cultures. These healthy microorganisms can boost your immune system and improve the health of your digestive tract. Ice cream and gelato do not have probiotics, potentially making frozen yogurt a healthier choice.
Frozen yogurt may have probiotics, which may benefit your gut health “But, do make sure that the frozen yogurt that you are consuming says it contains active and live cultures. Not all products are created equal! So, we encourage you to be a savvy shopper and look at what you are buying,” says Oskian.
Yes?Using yogurt instead of cream typically means a significant reduction in fat and calories. A half-cup serving of frozen yogurt will typically average 100 to 140 calories and zero to 3 grams of fat (a very reasonable sweet treat for any healthy diet).
Dice up some of the healthiest versions, such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans. A handful of berries added to your ice cream can change up the flavor and add some vitamins to the mix. Blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or even strawberry pieces all work wonders on top of a scoop of vanilla.
The construction is pretty simple, mix the yogurt, sugar and lime juice, blend the mangoes with a little of the yogurt mix. Then mix it all together, chill and then put in the ice cream maker.
Frozen yogurt (also known as frogurt or by the tradename Froyo; /ˈfroʊjoʊ/) is a frozen dessert made with yogurt and sometimes other dairy and non-dairy products. Frozen yogurt is a frozen product containing the same basic ingredients as ice cream, but contains live bacterial cultures.
How long does it keep? Once you have cut your frozen yogurt bark, store it in a bag or airtight container with the pieces separated with parchment. It will keep well for up to 3 months. You can enjoy it right from the freezer for an easy summer snack.
It's best not to eat this if mold has started to develop. Don't just scrap the mold off and eat what's left… this is when you need to pitch. Also, if it's slimy… it's best not to eat.
Check the temperature: Make sure the yogurt was incubated at the correct temperature (around 110°F) for the recommended amount of time. If the temperature was too low, the bacteria may not have had enough time to activate and set the yogurt.
Fresh yoghurt freezes remarkably well for up to two months. Upon thawing, the texture may change slightly and appear to be more liquid or grainy than it originally was. A simple fix is to stir vigorously for 30 seconds before using to even out the texture.
Yes, you can freeze yoghurt but you should be mindful that its texture will change, becoming thinner and less creamy. It will still be fine to use in cooking or smoothies. To freeze small amounts of yoghurt, pop it in ice cube trays, then transfer cubes to a freezer bag and expel air.
Making freeze-dried yogurt not only extends the shelf life of our homemade yogurt; it also makes a portable snack the whole family can enjoy, and it provides a shelf-stable culture to use when I'm ready to make another batch of fresh yogurt.
Ice cream and frozen yogurt share two main ingredients: dairy and sugar. Both also contain flavorings or other swirled-in ingredients. Unlike ice cream, frozen yogurt incorporates cultured milk, or yogurt. The fat content of the milk largely determines how much overall fat is in the final product.
