July 4th Yogurt Bark

June 12, 2016 by Cara

Making healthier choices over the summer doesn’t have to be complicated and over-the-top. It can be as simple as throwing a couple of cartons of dairy free yogurt alternative into a small baking sheet and topping it with fresh fruit for an incredibly fun 4th of July-themed snack and/or dessert that the kids will love eating with their hands. That’s right, eating yogurt with your hands is a thing now; who needs a spoon? Not me, especially not with this July 4th Yogurt Bark.

All you will need for this simple snack (or breakfast!) is:

Silk vanilla yogurt alternative

fresh blueberries

strawberries, cut into star shapes

fresh raspberries

July 4th Yogurt Bark: All you need is 4 simple ingredients to create this incredibly easy and fun summer-themed, dairy free snack/breakfast for your kids.

That’s it! 4 simple ingredients that make the easiest summertime snack to throw together, making it look like you really made a huge effort (Sssssshhh, only you and I know you really didn’t but they don’t have to know that…)! And you can feel good about knowing that you are feeding your kids a healthier plant-based food option to keep them going strong this summer.

Tips for making your own July 4th Yogurt Bark with Silk yogurt alternative: Try cutting different sized stars out of any red or white colored fruit (like strawberries, watermelon, bananas, or even white nectarines). If you want to really get artistic, you can make a design of the American flag with your fruit. Get the kids involved too! Have them make their own designs with the pre-cut fruit.
