Snack Time!

(Updated: Jan. 28, 2026, 9:02 a.m.)
February might be the shortest month but there are so many things to celebrate! It's National Snack Month! And with the cooler weather and being stuck inside, snacks are always a good thing! Let's make sure that we're also honoring American Heart Month, and keep our snacks in line with being kind to our heart by choosing heart healthy snacks. Raw veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds, whole grain, protein heavy, low sodium and healthy fats are a great way to do that. Also, by practicing portion control and getting up and moving helps as well! It might be cold outside, but you can warm up by marching in place, doing a exercise video, or my favorite, turning up the music and dance! Put together this easy Frozen Yogurt Bark and have in the freezer for a heart healthy snack when you need it. Stay warm and be aware of all the ways to take care of your heart. Enjoy!

Frozen Yogurt Bark


  • 1 1/2 cups fat-free, plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted almonds
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped mango
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup blackberries or raspberries, chopped if large

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt and honey until combined.
  2. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Using a spatula or knife, spread the yogurt mixture over the paper as thinly as possible.
  3. Sprinkle the almonds over the yogurt mixture. Using your fingertips, gently press the almonds into the yogurt mixture.
  4. Sprinkle the mango, blueberries, and raspberries over all. Using your fingertips, gently press the fruit into the yogurt mixture.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Freeze overnight.
  6. At serving time, remove the baking dish from the freezer. Gently lift the parchment paper from the dish and transfer to a cutting board. Using your hands, break the bark into pieces (or you may need to hit it lightly on the surface of the cutting board). It's best to eat the bark immediately. It begins to melt 15 minutes after being removed from the freezer.

Quick Tips

Cooking Tip: Any leftover bark can be wrapped in parchment paper, put in a resealable plastic freezer bag, and frozen for up to one month.

Keep it Healthy: Most fruits can be used to make this bark, from pomegranate arils (seeds) in the fall to diced peaches in the summer.

Tip: For different variations, try shredded unsweetened coconut, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, and/or chopped pecans or walnuts.
