Strawberry Banana Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Bark Benefits
This extremely fruity and nutritious frozen yogurt bark recipe is one of the simplest ones you can make and simultaneously get dozens of nutritional benefits, all in one place!
It is the ideal option In case you’re looking for some mouth-watering and delectable, not-so-basic way to include more fruits in your diet, but eating them alone seems too monotony, you’ll absolutely be obsessed with this fruity frozen yogurt bark!
Here are some health benefits of the main ingredients:
- Greek yogurt – adds a creamy, thick, sweeter texture that can enhance the flavor of the yogurt bark, and contains a lot of nutrients such as calcium protein, probiotics, and vitamin B-12. It has many benefits such as boosting metabolism and improving gut health. Probiotics that are present in Greek yogurt act as good bacteria that may help to reestablish a bacterial balance in the gut.
- Bananas – Bananas provide important nutrients that may improve blood sugar levels, gut health, and mood. Bananas are respectable sources of vitamin C, and contain fiber and many beneficial nutrients, including Potassium, vitamin B6, and many more. They also make you feel fuller! (1)
- Strawberries – Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, and also an excellent source of magnesium, and potassium. They give that juicy, sweet flavor to the yogurt bark and take us back to the hot summer days, at least just in taste. They’re one of the best combinations with bananas! (2)
- Honey – since this recipe doesn’t use any additional artificial toxic sweeteners, adding a teaspoon or two of raw, organic honey into your yogurt bark will naturally sweeten this dessert without you even noticing the difference!
- Dark chocolate – using organic dark chocolate instead of the milk one is a much healthier option, even though regular milk chocolate will also work if you want the sweeter version. The majority of dark chocolate contains flavanols, which are plant compounds. Antioxidants called flavanols have been connected to a decreased risk of heart disease. Theoretically, dark chocolate has more flavanol, which has more health benefits. (3)

Tips And Variations
Finely chop everything – if your strawberries are super large, make sure to chop them to medium size, since you don’t want too small fruits for this (whichever you’re using) – it makes the bark look flat and harder to break.
Set the parchment paper – This will make it easier to remove the bark from the tray; if you don’t line it, the yogurt will freeze to it and be difficult to remove.
Give the bark some time to settle – The bark needs about 2-4 hours to solidify completely in the freezer. To enjoy the next day, prepare it the night before.
Add and experiment with some other fruits – This yogurt bark recipe is completely versatile when it comes to fruit toppings, and you can experiment with whatever you have or prefer more! I like to add some blueberries or raspberries and finely chopped apple!
Add melted peanut butter – if you’re obsessed with peanut butter just like I am, you can sprinkle some of it at the top of your frozen yogurt bark to give it even more nutrition spark. Be sure not to overdo it, since peanut butter is extremely rich in calories and fat!
