Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or nonfat both work; full-fat is fine but changes calories)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (or to taste; you can also use a zero-calorie sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but adds a nice dessert vibe)
  • Pinch of salt (just a little brings out flavor)
  • 1 cup mixed fruit, chopped small (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, or raspberries)
  • 1–2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional, for a little crunch and chocolate note)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut or chopped nuts (optional; go light to keep calories in check)
  • Pan and liner: A rimmed baking sheet or 9x13-inch pan lined with parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Line your pan: Lay parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet or inside a 9x13-inch pan so the bark lifts out easily later.
  2. Mix the base: In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness. It should be pleasantly sweet but not sugary.
  3. Spread it out: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined pan. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Thinner sets faster and is easier to bite into.
  4. Add the fruit: Scatter your chopped fruit evenly over the yogurt. Press the pieces lightly so they stick. Keep chunks small so the bark breaks cleanly.
  5. Optional toppings: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, coconut, or a few finely chopped nuts. A little goes a long way.
  6. Freeze: Transfer the pan to the freezer and freeze until completely solid, about 2–3 hours. For thicker bark, give it an extra hour.
  7. Break into pieces: Lift the bark out using the parchment. Break into roughly 12–16 pieces. Aim for portions around 100 calories by watching topping amounts and size.
  8. Store properly: Keep the pieces in a freezer-safe bag or container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
