Ingredient:

1 1/2 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 scoops of protein powder

There are so many toppings that you can use. The toppings that I use today was assortment of nuts, raisins, and Chia seeds. I also used vanilla protein, but if you're more of a chocolate person or strawberry person, you can also use that. If you wanna buy flavored Greek yogurt, that's another option..

Ideas for your protein bark topping.

I have used many different types of granola such as oats and honey birthday cake, granola, and Key lime. The key lime is excellent with the vanilla Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder.

You also can use chocolate chips or white chocolate chips on your Greek yogurt. You can also use dried fruit, M&Ms and pretzel mix. If you like peanut butter, you can drizzle peanut butter on top also.

I also have sprinkled caramel corn, popcorn seasoning on top.

If you put pretzel mix on top, you can drizzle caramel sauce on top, which is very delicious also. You can also melt some nut butter or chocolate in the microwave and drizzle it over the topping with a spoon. It won't add too many calories.

If you have cookies and cream protein powder, vanilla Greek yogurt goes excellent with that.

Ready to make?

Mix your Greek yogurt, two scoops of protein powder and your vanilla altogether until it is smooth. you can either mix it by hand or mix it with a hand blender. But it's easy to do by hand.

Now get your cookie sheet or small casserole dish and line it with parchment paper or wax paper. Now you will want to place your yogurt on top of the paper and smooth it out slightly.

Now you will want to top it with whatever toppings you think you will enjoy.😋

Now you will have to freeze it for a few hours, but it's worth the wait. Once it's frozen, just crack it into different size pieces.

I hope you enjoy this easy protein bark as much as I do. I usually keep it in my freezer so when I get a craving for sweets, it's already there waiting for me.😁 If you enjoy this recipe, I hope you will come back and follow me for my future recipes and take a look at my past recipes.
