Ever get in that mood where you just need something sweet to ease those sugar cravings? Yup, us too.

The hard part is, of course, choosing a snack that's not going to send your blood sugar skyrocketing or ruin all your hard dieting work.

That's why we LOVE the idea of frozen yoghurt bark, made from chilled greek yoghurt instead of chocolate. It's oh-so moreish, but fairly guilt-free too.

The recipe below uses mixed frozen berries, cacao nibs and coconut flakes but the options in terms of toppings or add-ins are endless.

You can use any combination of fruit-and-nut flavourings to add sweetness and crunch. Some of our favourites include raspberry and pistachio; cranberry and walnut or even slices of frozen banana with peanuts.

Frozen Yoghurt Bark

Ingredients

  • 500g greek yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 100g frozen mixed berries (eg. blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 2 tbsp cacao nibs (or any chocolate chips/pieces you prefer)
  • 1 tbsb coconut flakes

Method

  1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil
  2. Mix yoghurt, honey, cacao nibs and coconut flakes together in a bowl
  3. Spread 3/4 of mixture evenly onto baking tray
  4. Drop berries onto mixture
  5. Spread remaining yoghurt mixture on top
  6. Freeze for 1.5 hours
  7. Cut into bars or squares.

These can be wrapped in clingfilm and frozen for later use if you wish

Here are some great ways to swap your favourite sugary treats for some snacks, that are not only tasty but low in calories too! Yay!

Ice Cream – Frozen Yoghurt
Hard to resist, especially during the summer months, but we all know that those sweet ice-cream treats can really build up over time. So why not swap your favourite ice cream for a frozen yoghurt alternative. Most fro-yos are 0% fat, a third of the calories but still as refreshingly sweet as your favourite ice-cream treat.

Sugar – Fructose
No it’s not a chemical component, but actually a more natural and healthier alternative to sugar. Fructose is the natural sugar found in fruit (hence the name), it’s cheap, twice as sweet as sugar (so you only need half the amount), and is now available in most grocery stores! So what’s not to love?

Vanilla Latte – Cappuccino
You don’t have to stay away from coffee to cut sugar from your diet, but just swap your favourite drinks for healthier ones instead. Cappuccinos are surprisingly lower in calories especially if you opt for the sugar-free options. If you want to go all out, swap the dairy for some soya milk instead.

Digestive Biscuits – Hobnobs
You don’t have to stay away from your biscuit treats, but just swap it for something else instead. Oats are usually the best when it comes to biscuit treats, and hobnobs are no exception. Just make sure not to do overdo it on the packet at the same time.

This frozen yoghurt makes the perfect weekend treat -it’s sweet, light and healthy too.

It’s really easy to make too, only four ingredients!

What you’ll need:

  • 120g of strawberries
  • Tub of greek yoghurt
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

What you’ll need to do:

  1. Using a hand blender of food processor, pulse the strawberries with the honey until they are broken up. A few big pieces is always nice too!
  2. Combine the yoghurt with the strawberry mixture and stir in lemon juice.
  3. Place the mixture in a freezer safe container and leave in the freezer overnight. Remove it after about 2 hours and mix it around to avoid it getting icy on top.
