Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Spread the Mixture: Line a baking sheet or flat container with parchment paper. Pour the yogurt mixture onto the parchment and spread it evenly into a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Add Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips gently in a microwave or double boiler and let them cool slightly. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the yogurt spread.
Sprinkle Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top to enhance the flavor balance between sweet and salty.
Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and allow it to freeze solid for about 2 hours or until firm.
Break into Pieces: Once frozen, remove from the freezer and break the frozen yogurt bark into bite-size pieces.
Serve and Store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week for a refreshing, healthy snack anytime.

Notes

Using full-fat Greek yogurt like Fage Total 5% yields the creamiest texture.
Choose natural creamy peanut butter without added sugars for a cleaner taste.
Protein powder adds nutritional value, but you can omit it if preferred.
Drizzling melted chocolate slowly helps create pretty patterns and a more even chocolate distribution.
Adjust the amount of sea salt to taste; a pinch enhances the flavors nicely.
For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt and use vegan chocolate chips.
Freeze thoroughly; partial thawing will make the bark sticky.
