Trail Mix Yogurt Bark
Serves 8
Lightly sweetened velvety Greek yogurt is studded with a crunchy topping reminiscent of trail mix and then frozen so you can break it into chunks just like chocolate bark (but healthier!). Crisp, creamy, and barely sweet, this colourful and whimsical snack (or healthy dessert) is perfect for kids and adults alike and sure to become a summer staple. For the creamiest bark possible, with fewer ice crystals, avoid using fat-free yogurt.

Acting as a blank canvas, this yogurt bark can take on any flavour profiles you fancy. Choose to use whatever nuts and dried fruit you please. Sun-splashed fresh berries also work as a topping, and you can swap out the honey for maple syrup.
