Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk/full fat)
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder

- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Flaked sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Instructions:
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder, sweetener (maple syrup or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the Mixture: Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly onto the pan using an offset spatula for a smooth finish. Aim for a thickness between ¼ inch to ½ inch.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips by microwaving them in 30-second intervals, stirring each time to avoid overheating.
- Layer the Chocolate: Once melted, spread the chocolate evenly over the peanut butter yogurt layer.
- Freeze the Bark: Transfer the pan to the freezer and let the bark freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Break and Serve: Once frozen, sprinkle the bark with flaked sea salt (if using). Cut into pieces with a sharp knife or break it up into chunks by hand.
Notes
- Nut Butter Swap: You can swap peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Chocolate Options: Experiment with milk chocolate or white chocolate for a sweeter treat.
- Sweetener Alternatives: Use stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a sugar-free version.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
