Pro Tips Before You Start

Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to make removal and cleanup easy.

Make sure the yogurt layer isn’t too thick—it freezes faster and breaks more easily.

Add a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the sweetness.

Want extra lime flavor? Add a drop of lime extract or more zest.

Let the bark sit at room temp for 2 minutes before breaking to avoid cracking too hard.

How to Make Key Lime Yogurt Bark

Step 1: Mix the base
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, key lime juice, lime zest, sweetener, vanilla extract, and vanilla protein powder.

Stir until smooth and fully blended.

Step 2: Spread and layer
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Pour the yogurt mixture onto the sheet and spread it into an even, thin layer.

Step 3: Add toppings
Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and a little extra lime zest evenly over the yogurt base.

Step 4: Freeze and break
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2–3 hours until fully set.

Once frozen, remove the bark and break it into pieces.

Step 5: Enjoy or store
Eat immediately or store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.

What to Serve It With

Fresh fruit like strawberries, kiwi, or blueberries

A drizzle of honey or dark chocolate for added indulgence

A cold glass of iced green tea or coconut water

Perfect as a midday snack or post-dinner dessert

Variations / Substitutions

Swap sweeteners: Use maple syrup or stevia if you prefer.

Make it dairy-free: Choose coconut yogurt and a plant-based protein powder.

Add texture: Chia seeds, slivered almonds, or crushed pistachios make great toppings.

Flavor twist: Try lemon juice instead of lime, or fold in a few crushed raspberries.

Crust boost: Add a graham cracker crust base before the yogurt layer for a firmer bite.

Storage & Leftovers

Store in a freezer-safe airtight container.

Separate layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking.

Best enjoyed within 2 weeks.

Do not refrigerate—it needs to stay frozen to maintain texture.

Let thaw slightly before eating for best flavor and crunch.

Can I leave out the protein powder?
