Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose vanilla for added flavor or plain for a lighter option)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup granola or crushed nuts (for added crunch)

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional, for a fun twist)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Banana Base: Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange half of these banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each slice to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup (if you prefer a sweeter bark) and the vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and well combined.

      Layer the Bark: Using a spatula, spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture over the banana slices on the baking sheet, ensuring even coverage to help bind the layers together.

        Add the Strawberries: Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries over the yogurt layer, spreading them out to create a vibrant layer of fruit.

          Top It Off: Next, sprinkle the remaining banana slices over the strawberries. Then, add your granola or crushed nuts for added texture, followed by the mini chocolate chips for a pop of fun if desired.

            Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow it to chill for 2-3 hours, or until the bark is completely firm and set.

              Cut and Serve: Once the bark has frozen solid, remove it from the freezer and gently peel away the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife or your hands to break or cut the bark into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or transfer the pieces to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to one week.
