Frozen Yogurt Bark

I saw this recipe months and months ago and I kept saying telling myself I'd make it.

Finally, I thought about it when I had the time to try it.

Of course I changed this up just a bit to make it more point friendly.

Greek yogurt is a really plan friendly, low point, high protein food.

I have a whole cup of it mixed with Truvia and a cup of fruit in the late afternoon, early evening everyday I work.

It really helps me from feeling hangry when I get home at night.

Let's just say it's been a game changer.

So this recipe really isn't much different from what I eat at work but it's frozen.

I also decided I might like to try a little honey flavor in there so I added Truvia Nectar.

This is basically Truvia plus real honey.

It's twice as sweet so if a recipe calls for honey you cut it in half if you're using this product.

One other quick note... here's where I'm a WW rebel.

I refuse to count points for cooking extracts.

Technically 2 tsp of vanilla extract is 1 pt but I refuse to count that.

I think if you have too many things that you don't count it can deter your weight loss so I'm not advocating picking and choosing what you do and don't track.

I'm just saying for me, this is one thing I won't track.

I track everything else.

I also know that I made it all the way to goal without tracking.

If you're struggling to lose and you don't count everything I would encourage you to start tracking it.

Do what works for you.

As my awesome leader, Nancy, always says, "It's your plan.  Do what works for you".



Ingredients

2 cups plain, low-fat Greek yogurt(6 pts)  My favorite is FAGE.

2 tsp Truvia(1 pt)

1 tsp Truvia Nectar(1 pt)

2 tsp vanilla extract(you could add an additional extract or substitute another one)

Strawberries and blueberries or other preferred fruit


Instructions

First line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Then, mix the yogurt, Truvia, Truvia Nectar and vanilla extract up in a bowl.

Now gently spread all the yogurt mix into the bottom of your prepared pan.  

Mine is a little bit thick but I'm just going to wing it and go with this.  

I mean let's face it, even if it doesn't turn out into pieces of bark I'm still gonna eat this ;)

Now add in some pretty fruits.

Doesn't that look pretty!  So bright and colorful!  

I love it when my food is pretty! :)

Put a piece of foil over the top of the pan and freeze for at least 2 hours.

I ended up letting mine sit in the freezer for a whole day, honestly because I forgot. 

Cut it into your desired number of pieces and enjoy!

How easy peasy right?!

If you divide this into 3 servings it's 3 points.  If you set it to serve 4 it comes out to 2 pts.

How did it taste?

Sadly disappointing. :(

I didn't really like it at all but my husband tasted it first and said nothing.

So I said "tastes pretty crummy huh?" to which he responded "Yeah.  Pretty much."

Later after it had sit out a while he said "It doesn't taste as bad after it thaws out a bit"...

which pretty much defeats the whole point.

For some reason unknown to me this tasted great before freezing but after freezing tasted more sour, like plain Greek yogurt can taste.

I'm not sure I understand the chemical reason behind that but I was thinking it and then my husband verbalized it.

Well, once again, you win some and you lose some but we're never behind if we try new things.

I've just discovered one way I don't like to have Greek yogurt. ;)

Happy Cooking!
