We live on a great street. Everyone is so friendly and our neighbors are so kind and generous.
Last week, one of our neighbors brought us a quart of strawberries, just to say, “Happy summer.” How sweet is that?
I saw a recipe for strawberry yogurt bark that I wanted to try, but that recipe called for a bunch of extras, like honey for sweetener and the addition of crunchy bits (chocolate chips or nuts).
I wanted something a lot more simple: Just yogurt and berries.
Sure, you can add sweeteners to yogurt bark, but adding sugars to everything isn’t that great for your diet or your taste buds.
I’m a fan of chocolate and sugar, so I’m not exactly the poster child for no sweeteners, but I do my best. So none of that is in this recipe.
All we can do is try, right?

Strawberry Yogurt Bark Ingredients:
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 cups strawberries
How To Make Strawberry Yogurt Bark:
Wash your strawberries and dice all but three of them.
Mix together the diced strawberries and yogurt.
Pour the mixture into a parchment paper-lined 8×8 cake pan. Make sure to spread it out evenly.
Slice the reserved strawberries lengthwise. Carefully top the yogurt mixture with them.
Freeze the mixture for two hours. It will not be completely frozen yet, but this will save you a lot of effort later.
While it’s still freezing (not frozen), take the parchment paper out from the pan and set it on a cutting board.
Use a large knife to cut the strawberry yogurt bark into chunks.
Then, put the sliced yogurt bark and parchment paper back into the pan and freeze it overnight.
When you take it out the next day, you’ll easily be able to snap it into chunks since the crystals between the slices will be so thin.
Strawberry Yogurt Bark Variations:
Remember that recipe I based this off of? It had a ton of additions. So, if you wanted to make something similar but different, we have a few ideas for you.
If you need more inspiration, just look at the frozen yogurt bars in your grocery store’s freezer. Use this recipe to recreate those in a much more frugal way.
Strawberry Chocolate Yogurt Bark
Add a half cup of mini chocolate chips into the mixture with the berries and yogurt.
Strawberry Granola Yogurt Bark
Mix a cup of your favorite granola into the berries and yogurt mixture. Using bagged granola that also has chocolate pieces is a great idea too.
Strawberry Honey Almond Yogurt Bark
Mix two tablespoons of honey and a dozen sliced almonds into the mixture with the berries and yogurt. Be sure to save a few of the almonds for a garnish on top of the yogurt bark.
Frozen Yogurt Pops
Instead of making this into a yogurt bark, you can turn it into frozen yogurt pops.
After you mixed the berries and yogurt together, pour the mixture into a reusable ice pop mold.
Leave those in the freezer overnight, skipping the step where you cut the yogurt bark into pieces (obviously, since it’s not yogurt bark anymore).
When you are ready to eat them, you will need to sit the reusable ice pop mold on the counter for a little bit before serving. These will not instantly pull out of the ice pop mold. They do need to thaw just a bit before they’ll pop out.
If you only want to eat one, you can stick the ice pop tray back in the freezer, even if the pops have defrosted a little when you were waiting to pull one out. That won’t affect the taste or texture of the remaining pops.
Strawberry Yogurt Bark: Frequently Asked Questions
How can you store Strawberry Yogurt Bark?
Strawberry yogurt bark the bark should be kept in a freezer safe container in the freezer. It will melt if you try to keep it in the fridge.
Yogurt bark can last up to one month in the freezer. The pieces may start to freeze together after that, which makes it kind of difficult to eat and enjoy.
Can you use other berries in yogurt bark?
You can change yogurt bark up with different type of berries.
Keep in mind that the sweeter the berry, the sweeter the bark, so you want to make this with berries that are in season.
But any fruit, especially blueberries and blackberries, work really well in this.
And what’s great is you can use frozen berries in this as well. So if you have those in your freezer, and you don’t have any fresh berries, go ahead and use those in this recipe.
Can you use flavored yogurt in yogurt bark?
This recipe uses non-fat Greek yogurt because that’s good for Weight Watchers. Non-fat Greek yogurt is 0 Freestyle Points.
So, if you’re following Weight Watchers, this recipe is perfect for you. Both non-fat Greek yogurt and berries are zero points with the new Weight Watchers Freestyle Program, so you can have this as a completely guilt-free dessert.
If you’re not following Weight Watchers, and you’re not worried about counting Freestyle Points, you can use flavored yogurt in yogurt bark.
Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt, so that works to make this recipe a little better. So flavored Greek yogurt is your best choice. But you could also use flavored regular yogurt, if that’s what you have at home.
Keep in mind that if you use a flavored yogurt, it will be sweeter than this recipe is as written.
