The way the tangy Greek yogurt pairs with sweet wild blueberries creates this amazing frozen snack that feels like dessert but is actually good for you. Plus it's naturally gluten-free and so easy to make.
What Makes This Snack Special
What I love most about this recipe is how simple yet versatile it is. You only need Greek yogurt and wild blueberries to make something that tastes like it came from a fancy frozen yogurt shop. It's perfect for those hot summer days when you want something refreshing but don't want to turn on the oven.
Let's Gather Our Ingredients
- Frozen Wild Blueberries: These tiny berries pack so much flavor and their small size works perfectly in the bark.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Use whatever fat percentage you like I usually go with 2%.
- Cinnamon: Just a pinch adds such nice warmth optional but wonderful.
- Maple Syrup: A little drizzle if you want extra sweetness.

Let's Make Some Magic
- Getting Those Berries Ready
- I let my frozen blueberries thaw just a bit about 10 minutes is perfect. Then I gently mash them with a fork they get all juicy and beautiful.
- Mixing It Together
- Now comes the fun part! I fold those mashed berries into the Greek yogurt watching those purple swirls form. Sometimes I'll add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup if I'm feeling fancy.
- The Freezer Step
- I line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture into an even layer. Not too thick not too thin about 1/4 inch is just right.
- Breaking Time
- After a couple hours in the freezer it's ready! Breaking it into pieces is so satisfying it's like creating little pieces of art.
Keeping It Fresh
Here's a trick I've learned keep your frozen bark pieces separated with parchment paper in the freezer. They can stick together otherwise! They'll stay perfect for months but honestly in my house they never last that long.
