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.

For soft-serve-style fro-yo: Churn until the yogurt reaches the consistency of soft-serve ice cream and serve it right away. For scoopable fro-yo: Once it's finished churning, pack it into a freezer container, or cake pan; cover it with parchment paper; and freeze it until hardened.
Place in the freezer for about 3 hours or until the yogurt is firm. Cut or break into 16-20 pieces and serve. Store leftover yogurt bark in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Therefore, the lower the water content in your yoghurt, the less icy, and more creamy and smooth it'll be. That's why you want to use a nice thick yoghurt for this recipe.
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.
I say corn syrup is optional here, but a little bit of it can help the texture of your strawberry frozen. yogurt by preventing the formation of large ice crystals while the mix freezes.
Eating foods high in protein and fiber may help keep you full without spiking your blood sugar. Foods like non-starchy vegetables, eggs, flaxseeds, and Greek yogurt can encourage healthy post-meal blood sugar levels and help you maintain healthy glycemic control.
If your baby has been cleared to eat yogurt by their pediatrician, you can also introduce them to frozen yogurt. Freeze the yogurt and stir every hour until it has a similar consistency to ice cream. Then let them enjoy!
If this is an opened container, that's been in the fridge for a while, it may mold. 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 because freezing collapses the protein networks in yogurt. The process releases water that, when frozen, separates from the milk solids. Thawed yogurt doesn't make the smoothest sauces — so if you're at all concerned about texture, save your thawed yogurt for a baking project or a smoothie.
It's worth noting that previously frozen yogurt might have a grainy texture. To reduce the grittiness, stir the thawed yogurt thoroughly or whirl it in a blender or food processor for a smoother consistency.
Another popular frozen yogurt topping is fresh fruit, helping to bring sweetness to the light flavour of frozen yogurt. Berries such as strawberries and blueberries are not only highly popular to enjoy with frozen yogurt, but are also packed with antioxidants, helping you to create a more balanced dessert.
Here are our top picks for sensible, yet tasty treats. Choose protein-packed Greek Honey Vanilla or 90-calorie Classic Tart topped with bananas, cherries or chocolate sprinkles. Fun and lower calorie options include Green Tea, Coconut or Watermelon.
Whisk together the Stonyfield Greek Yogurt and the honey until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream machine and process according to your machine's directions. Once done, remove and transfer to a freezer safe container. Or, scoop and serve as needed.
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.
