Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
8 to 10 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced (about 1 heaping cup sliced)
1 cup (240 g) plain or vanilla full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon (21 g) honey
2 tablespoons (32 g) peanut butter or almond butter
1/4 cup (45 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon (5 ml) coconut oil
Optional for higher protein:
1 scoop (about 20–25 g) vanilla protein powder
Directions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the tops, and slice them thinly.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
Arrange the sliced strawberries in a single, even layer on the prepared tray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended. If adding protein powder, mix it in at this stage until well incorporated.
Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the layer of strawberries, covering them completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the yogurt layer.
Place the tray in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until completely firm.
Once frozen, remove from the freezer and break or slice into bark-style pieces.
Serve immediately or store in the freezer for later.

FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Fresh strawberries work best because frozen strawberries release extra moisture as they thaw, which can affect the texture of the bark.
What type of Greek yogurt is best?
Full-fat Greek yogurt provides the creamiest texture, but low-fat or nonfat versions will also work.
Can I make this without honey?
Yes, you can omit the honey or substitute it with maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener.
How do I keep the bark from becoming icy?
Using full-fat Greek yogurt and ensuring the mixture is smooth before freezing helps maintain a creamy texture.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply use a larger tray or prepare two trays to accommodate the extra ingredients.
Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?
Yes, it’s perfect for meal prep since it stores well in the freezer for up to two weeks.
Can I skip the coconut oil in the chocolate?
The coconut oil helps thin the chocolate for easier drizzling, but you can melt the chocolate on its own if preferred.
How do I cut the bark neatly?
Let it sit at room temperature for about one minute before slicing with a sharp knife, or simply break it into rustic pieces.
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes, vanilla Greek yogurt works very well and adds extra sweetness.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, all the ingredients used in this recipe are naturally gluten-free. Always check labels to ensure there is no cross-contamination if needed.
