Yogurt Bark starts with creamy Greek yogurt and raspberries, then gets topped with your favorite crunchy mix-ins. So good, it’s hard to believe it’s good for you too!
My Favorite Yogurt Bark Variation
I’ve tried a lot of yogurt bark, and this one is hands down the best. Most use whole berries, which freeze hard and are tough to eat. I slice raspberries thin and mix them into the yogurt—it makes all the difference.
The best part? You can change it up however you like. Use your favorite toppings—nuts, granola, chocolate chips, whatever you’re craving.
I always keep a batch in the freezer. Just snap off a piece when you need a snack—it’s perfect after a workout, during the afternoon slump, or when you’re digging through the freezer late at night.
Creamy Greek yogurt, sweet honey, fresh raspberries, crunchy pistachios, and a rich almond butter drizzle—this bark is the perfect mix of creamy, crunchy, and just sweet enough.
Yogurt Bark Ingredients
- Greek yogurt: Use full-fat for the best texture. I like honey-vanilla for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Honey: Adjust to taste or swap with stevia or monk fruit if needed.
- Vanilla extract: A splash adds subtle sweetness and depth.
- Sea salt: A small pinch brings out all the flavors and balances the sweetness.
- Raspberries: Thinly sliced and mixed into the yogurt for even flavor and easier eating. Other berries can freeze too hard or taste too strong.
Quick Tip
Greek Gods® Honey Vanilla Yogurt is hands-down our favorite yogurt to use in this bark. It is quite rich and sweet, so we typically only add a dash of honey (or leave it out completely!
How To Make Yogurt Bark (Tips)
Here are some tips to ensure your Yogurt Bark recipe turns out perfectly every time:
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt: It’s creamier and won’t turn icy. Pick one you actually like the taste of plain.
- Sweeten to taste: Add honey based on how sweet your yogurt is. Taste before freezing and adjust if needed.
- Slice raspberries thin: They freeze better and spread the flavor more evenly.
- Freeze fully: Let the bark freeze solid (4–8 hours) before breaking it up.
- Line with parchment: Makes it easy to remove and clean up.
- Customize it: Swap in your favorite fruits, nuts, or toppings!
Our Favorite Toppings
We love creating a dual-flavored Yogurt Bark by dividing the toppings into two categories: one half is sprinkled with pistachios, and the other half gets a combination of granola and almond butter.
- Pistachios: Roasted and salted pistachios provide enhanced flavor without any extra effort on your part. Since they’re already roasted, they retain crunchiness in the yogurt longer. Shelled pistachios will save you the hassle of shelling them yourself and you’ll find them in the snack aisle or bulk food section of most grocery stores. Of course, you’re not limited to pistachios – feel free to substitute with other nuts or even a combination of your favorites!
- Granola: Granola offers an additional crunch and diversifies the flavor profile. Select a variety that you particularly enjoy, or for a truly personalized touch, consider making your own at home. (See the “quick tip” box below for ideas.)
- Almond butter: A drizzle of almond butter across the bark not only contributes a layer of richness but also infuses the bark with healthy fats. There’s plenty of room for experimentation here, too. Try different kinds of nut butter or even a drizzle of melted dark chocolate chips for a sweet twist!

We love making granola! Here are some of our favorite granola recipes: Easy Granola Recipe, Peanut Butter Granola, Almond Granola, Chocolate Granola.
Variations
Change Up Yogurt Bark
This Yogurt Bark is highly customizable, and here are some exciting variations you can try:
- Fruits: While raspberries are a fantastic choice, you can also experiment with other fruits. Whatever fruit you use, thinly slice or dice the fruit for an easier eating experience. Consider diced strawberries, halved blueberries, thinly sliced blackberries, or even a tropical twist with diced mango or diced kiwi.
- Nuts and seeds: Pistachios are great, yet other nuts like chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans can add their unique flavors and crunch. For a nut-free version, try seeds like chia, flax, or sunflower seeds.
- Dried fruits: For an added burst of sweetness and a different texture, try sprinkling some dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, golden raisins, or chopped dates on top.
- Chocolates: If you’re a chocolate lover, consider adding dark chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or even drizzling a bit of melted chocolate over the top before freezing.
- Other yogurt flavors: Although honey-vanilla Greek yogurt is suggested, you can also experiment with other flavors of Greek yogurt, such as coconut or even a citrus flavor like lemon. But do stick with Greek yogurt; other types don’t have the same consistency.
- Protein powder: For a post-workout boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the yogurt mixture.
Storage
Storing Yogurt Bark
Make sure to store Yogurt Bark properly to maintain its taste, texture, and freshness. Here are some tips:
- Once the bark is frozen and broken into pieces, transfer it to an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. This will prevent it from absorbing odors from other food items and protect it from freezer burn.
- If you need to stack the bark in layers, place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between the layers to prevent the pieces from sticking together. Store the pieces in a single layer if you have enough space. This allows you to easily grab a piece whenever you want without having to pry it from the others.
- Yogurt bark can last up to 2 weeks in the freezer, but for the best flavor and texture, enjoy it within the first few days.
- Yogurt bark is best enjoyed straight from the freezer. It begins to melt fairly quickly at room temperature, so only take out what you plan to eat immediately.

Yogurt Bark
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt full-fat, see note 1; I like honey vanilla
- 1 to 3 tablespoons honey see note 2
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/3 cups fresh raspberries thinly sliced (6-ounce containers)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios
- 3 tablespoons granola
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Wash raspberries and dry thoroughly to prevent them from becoming icy. Thinly slice or chop and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, salt, and vanilla. Gradually add honey, adjusting the quantity to suit your taste (see note 2). Use a spatula to gently fold sliced raspberries into yogurt mixture until well combined.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared sheet pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Sprinkle half the pan with chopped pistachios and the other half with granola. Put almond butter into a small resealable plastic bag, snip off the tip of a corner, and pipe it over the granola-covered half. Freeze the tray overnight or for about 4–8 hours, until it’s entirely firm.
- Once fully frozen, cut the bark into pieces using a sharp knife. Enjoy it straight from the freezer; it melts quickly at room temperature.

Creamy yogurt combined with colourful fruits and a touch of sweetness – it’s a treat I can feel good about. The frozen texture and beautiful presentation make it a fantastic treat for hot summer days.
I am so thrilled to hear this! Thanks so much for your comment! 🙂
This Yogurt Bark recipe seems like a delightful treat, especially for the warmer months. I love the versatility yogurt offers in terms of flavors and mix-ins. Out of curiosity, have you tried incorporating any savory elements or spices into the bark? I’m thinking a hint of rosemary or chili could be an interesting twist!
I am so thrilled to hear this! I haven’t played around with savory other than salty nuts but if those are flavors you enjoy I think they would work beautifully!
I guess I was expecting it to be more of a BARK consistency. This had more of an over frozen taste. Not really going to hold me over for anything, nor tickle my taste buds.
Oh bummer. Did you change the recipe at all? How long did you freeze it for? I wonder if you used a low-fat or fat free yogurt which could have made it more icy/frozen tasting? Either way sorry you didn’t love this; it’s one of our favorites!
Cant wait to make this soon for me can i use coconut yogurt i never had yogurt bark before perfect for my after office snacks
Can’t wait for you to try! 🙂
