Expert Tips
For a smoother texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt, but remember this will increase the calorie count. To prevent the bark from becoming too hard, let it thaw slightly before breaking it apart. When trying to lose weight, prioritize protein and fiber to help with satiety and choose frozen fruit to make the bark last longer.
Macros Breakdown
This bark is protein-rich, primarily from the Greek yogurt, which can help you feel full. The carbs come from the berries and honey; consider the impact of carbohydrate metabolism. Keep in mind that consuming excess carbohydrates can increase lipogenesis.
