Ingredients

Greek Yogurt (2.5 cups): Thick, creamy, non-fat or low-fat plain Greek yogurt providing a rich protein base and smooth texture.
Key Lime Juice (3.5 tablespoons): Freshly squeezed juice that adds a tangy, citrusy brightness to the creamy yogurt mixture.
Powdered Swerve (2 tablespoons): A natural sweetener with zero calories, or substitute 1 tablespoon honey for a touch of natural sweetness.
Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon): Adds a warm, aromatic depth that complements the tart lime beautifully.
Lime Zest (1 tablespoon): Freshly grated zest to enhance the citrus flavor intensity and add fragrance.
Gluten-Free Crushed Graham Crackers (1/3 cup): Provides a crunchy texture and subtle sweetness; use varieties like Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins.
Toasted Unsweetened Coconut (1/4 cup): Adds a nutty crunch and tropical flair with a toasty aroma.
Vanilla Protein Powder (1 scoop): Boosts protein content while reinforcing the mild vanilla undertone; choose dairy-free if preferred.

Instructions

Mix the Creamy Yogurt Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, key lime juice, vanilla protein powder, lime zest, powdered swerve (or your chosen sweetener), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and protein throughout.
Prepare the Freezing Surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. Spreading the yogurt mixture directly on this surface allows easy removal once frozen and helps achieve a perfect bark texture.
Spread Yogurt Mixture Evenly: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer approximately 1/4 inch thick. This ensures quick, uniform freezing and a balanced ratio of creamy and crunchy bites.
Add Toppings for Crunch and Flavor: Evenly sprinkle the crushed gluten-free graham crackers, toasted coconut, and additional lime zest over the yogurt layer. These toppings provide a delightful crunch, contrasting textures, and enhance the citrus profile.
Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or until the yogurt bark is completely frozen. This step solidifies the bark, making it easy to break into bite-sized pieces and preserving its refreshing texture.
Break and Store: Once frozen, lift the parchment or silicone mat from the baking sheet and gently break the bark into pieces of your preferred size. Enjoy immediately or store the pieces in an airtight container in the freezer, ideally separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
