These two frozen bark recipes were the perfect snack for after our latest Lunch and Learn! Easy to make and easy to munch, these barks were refreshing and nourishing after our workout. We'll often keep some variation of these barks in the freezer at CasaVive to have as a quick snack between clients or as a little energy boost on a slow afternoon. We love the variety that these barks offer, use your favourite flavours, fruits or toppings!
Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Bark
Ingredients:
2 Cups Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1-2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
2-4 Tbsp Blueberry Jam
1/4 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
How to:
Mix together the yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup. Taste and add more syrup or more yogurt to reach your desired level of sweetness.
Place parchment paper onto an eighth sized sheet pan. Spread the yogurt mixture onto the parchment paper until you have an even layer, ~ 1/4th of an inch thick.
Dollop the blueberry jam and use a toothpick to swirl it through the yogurt.
Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds evenly over the yogurt and jam
Place pan uncovered in freezer for at least 3 hours until yogurt mixture is completely frozen.
Once frozen, remove from freezer and break into one-to-two-bite sized chunks. Serve immediately or place chunks between sheets of parchment paper and replace in freezer until ready to serve.
Play with this recipe! Try different ways of flavouring the yogurt, use different jams or spreads, or top with a mixture of nuts and fruits. The possibilities are endless and can be suited exactly to you!
