Frozen Yogurt Bark

My son has always loved Frozen Yogurt Bark and although it can get very messy, I like the fact he is getting a healthy snack yet he thinks he is getting a “treat”.

What is Frozen Yogurt Bark?

Frozen yogurt bark is simply yogurt frozen on a tray with lots of different foods stirred through and/or added to the top of the yogurt. It is very simple to make and can be easily customized to suit taste.

What Yogurt Should You Use?

Any yogurt will work but I prefer to use plain greek yogurt and sweetened it with fruit.

Make it Healthier?

Like most foods, not all frozen yogurt bark is created equally. It will all depend on the yogurt used and the toppings/stir-ins that you choose to add.

• Don’t offer very often – If your yogurt bark is made from an added sugar yogurt with toppings such as candy and chocolate.
• If you use a plain yogurt with toppings, such as fruit and nuts, then you have yourself a healthy snack.

Can I Give it To a Baby?

Once your baby has started solid foods then YES you can offer frozen yogurt bark. One word of warning though, prepare for a lot of mess! The yoghurt melts fast and tends to go everywhere!

Things to consider when making frozen yogurt bark for a baby:

• Do not add honey to sweeten the yogurt. Babies under one should not consume honey. If you wish, you can use a different sweetener, such as maple syrup, but I don’t encourage adding sweeteners to babies food. I’m sure they will be more than happy with this snack unsweetened.
• Do not add whole nuts or big pieces of nuts to the bark, they can increase the choking risk.
• Cut fruit into small pieces, to the size that your baby is used to eating (blueberries, raspberries, bananas, shredded apples, grapes, etc).

Enjoy!
