Recipe: Frozen Yogurt Bark

Our dietitians are often asked what constitutes a “good snack”. Our answer? Pairing a source of healthy fat or protein with carbohydrates provides the pick-me-up we need while keeping us satiated until our next meal. Plain Greek yogurt is used as the base for these frozen yogurt bark variations, providing a good amount of protein for satiety. From there, you can mix in any nut butter (for healthy fats and delicious flavor) or keep it plain and add fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips as the topping of your choice. Feel free to be creative and make different combinations based on the seasons or what others in your family will enjoy!
