What Are the Ingredients in This Yogurt Bark Recipe?

Let’s talk about ingredients! One of the perks of this recipe is that you need only five ingredients. And most of them, you probably already have in your pantry. Here’s the rundown:

• Unsweetened yogurt: If you’re looking for a vegan frozen yogurt bark, use your favorite non-dairy yogurt, such as coconut or almond yogurt.
• Vanilla protein powder: In this recipe, we used Nuzest vanilla pea protein. Feel free to use your favorite. If omitting altogether or if using an unsweetened protein powder, make sure to add a little honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, or stevia to the recipe. Want a chocolate version? Use your favorite chocolate protein powder.
• Almond butter: Prefer peanut butter - go for it! Nut allergy? Use your favorite seed butter. You get the gist—use what you have and what you like. You can also leave the nut butter out entirely and still have a delicious, creamy treat.
• Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders: This is the secret key ingredient to the immune-boosting punch. It’s a blend of five different mushrooms: Reishi, Maitake, Shiitake, Chaga, and Turkey Tail.
• Chocolate: Use your favorite chocolate bar or about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
• Optional toppings: This is the fun part! You can keep it plain and simple (and still super delicious!) or go crazy! Some ideas are nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh fruit, granola, bee pollen, cereal, or even a little salt!

How Do You Make This Recipe?

Besides using minimal ingredients, another perk of this frozen yogurt bark recipe is how easy it is to make.

1. Mix all the ingredients except your toppings and chocolate.
2. Melt your chocolate and drizzle on top.
3. Toss on your toppings.
4. Freeze, break into pieces, and enjoy!

How Do You Store the Yogurt Bark?

The yogurt bark should be stored in a sealed container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Keep in mind that it does melt fairly quickly after taking it out of the freezer, so you’ll want to eat it right away.
