Ingredients
- Plain yogurt: I prefer to use full-fat plain yogurt in this recipe, but you can also use Greek or a vanilla-flavored yogurt if you prefer. Yogurt is a great source of protein, calcium and vitamin B. You can easily use any brand of dairy-free yogurt in this recipe.
- Honey: Honey is a great way to add natural sweetness without the need for refined sugar. If you can, use a raw or natural honey that is richer in antioxidants. Using honey instead of sugar will help you to avoid those dreaded sugar highs!
- Rainbow Fruit: You can use fresh or frozen fruit and you can use whatever fruit you have on hand, it doesn’t have to be the full rainbow of colors for this yogurt bark to work. Here are some options in case you want to go for the full rainbow effect –
- ❤️ RED: strawberries, raspberries, cherries
- 🧡 ORANGE: mandarin oranges
- 💛 YELLOW: mango, pineapple, yellow kiwi
- 💚GREEN: kiwi, grapes
- 💙 BLUE: blueberries
- 💜 PURPLE: blackberries, purple grapes
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add in the yogurt and honey and stir until mixed.
- Pour the yogurt onto the baking sheet and spread with a knife or spatula until you have a smooth layer.
- Sprinkle on the chopped fruit either in a rainbow order (from top of the baking sheet to the bottom) or all mixed together.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 5 hours. Take the baking sheet out of the fridge and break the yogurt bark into chunks with your hands.
- Serve and enjoy.
COOKING WITH KIDS
You can easily have your toddlers and kids help makes this rainbow yogurt bark.
TODDLERS
- Toddlers can help measure out and chop the fruit, and mix the yogurt and honey together. We love this kid-safe knife for toddlers.
- Once blended, toddlers can help pour the yogurt mixture onto the baking sheet and spread out with a spoon or spatula.
- Their favorite part might be to help sprinkle the fruits on top.
- With help, they can place the yogurt bark into the freezer.
KIDS
- You can pretty much let older kids make this recipe by themselves.
- They can pick out and measure all of the ingredients and help cut up the fruit (this is my favorite kid-safe knife for kids).
- Kids can pour the yogurt bark onto a baking sheet, spread out with a knife or spatula, sprinkle the fruits on top and place the finished yogurt bark into the freezer.
Tips for Making the Best Yogurt Bark
- Size of Baking Dish: you can use 9 x 9″, 9 x 13″ or any baking sheet you have on hand. The thickness of the bark will be determined by the size pan you use.
- Toppings: …don’t skimp! Cut the pieces of fruit into small evenly sized pieces so that it is easy to eat.
- Freezing Time: Let the bark freeze for at least 4 to 5 hours, but it’s best to freeze overnight if you can.
- Storage: Store the yogurt bark in an airtight container and keep it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Be sure to store it in the freezer, or it can turn back into a liquid.
