About this Recipe:
As a Registered Dietitian, I’m a big fan of using Greek yogurt in my recipes. Especially Greek yogurt desserts. It adds a creamy richness, pairs well with sweet flavours, and it’s nutritious!
I’ve got a whole roster of Greek yogurt-based desserts, including these Chocolate Blueberry Greek Yogurt Clusters and my Healthier No-Bake Cheesecake in a Jar!
And, one of my most popular dessert recipes is my Peanut Butter Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark! It’s been on my site for a couple of years now, so I figured it was time to get creative and share a new one.
Frozen yogurt bark is really easy to make. You basically just spread the yogurt onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, add toppings, and freeze! This recipe uses just 5 ingredients and requires only 15 minutes of prep time.
Ingredients for Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Bark:
To make this recipe, all you need is:

Tip: You can easily make this recipe vegan by using a plant-based Greek yogurt.
What Makes This Greek Yogurt Bark Healthy?
It’s high in protein. What’s great about using Greek yogurt vs. regular yogurt is that it’s higher in protein. Protein takes longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and fat, so incorporating protein-rich foods into meals and snacks helps to keep us feeling full for longer.
In addition to fullness, protein also supports a variety of important bodily functions, including muscle growth and recovery.
It offers key micronutrients. In addition to being rich in protein, it’s also chalk-full of key micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, and zinc.
Strawberries are high in fibre, which supports fullness, digestion, and gut health in addition to being a fantastic source of micronutrients like vitamin C.
How to Make Greek Yogurt Bark:
As I mentioned, the process of making yogurt bark is quick and easy! Here’s how to make this recipe:
Storing Yogurt Bark:
Once the bark is cut or broken into pieces, you can store it in the freezer in a large freezer bag or freezer-safe container. It will keep in the freezer up to 2 months.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Greek Yogurt Bark
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 2% or higher, (Greek yogurt *not regular yogurt)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, diced, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
Equipment
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine plain greek yogurt, pure maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the greek yogurt mixture into a single even layer with a spatula. Set aside.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
- Add 3/4 of the diced strawberries to the melted chocolate and fold into the chocolate to combine. Do this fairly quickly so the chocolate doesn't harden.
- Spread the chocolate-strawberry mixture on top of the greek yogurt on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of diced strawberries on top, as well as a couple pinches of flaky sea salt (optional).
- Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours until hardened.
- Once frozen, cut with a knife or use your hands to break into pieces of greek yogurt bark. Store the pieces in a freezer-safe bag or container.
