Ingredients

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or walnuts)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Spread Yogurt on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the parchment and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Add Toppings: Scatter the mixed berries evenly over the yogurt layer. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts and chia seeds on top.
Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm.
Break into Pieces: Once frozen, remove from the freezer and break the yogurt into pieces or “bark.” Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
