This Valentine’s Day, I’m looking for healthier options to spread the message, “I love you.” Look, don’t get me wrong. There WILL be chocolate seen over here in the next month to celebrate Lovers Day, but I just thought it would be nice to have the majority of the recipes be more on the savory as well as the healthier side. And there’s no better way to set a challenge for myself than to try to make a lovers’ treat look creative, fun, and cute (of course) than with fruit and nondairy yogurt.
Valentine’s Yogurt Bark screams, “Hey, I care about you! But I’m also concerned with your health too!” So go ahead, take a square and with every bite, just know that this fun treat is packed with the good stuff made by Mother Nature (and some other stuff in there as well). Look, it’s why I said healthier not healthy.
The easiest treat awaits you. Make this Valentine’s Yogurt Bark and save time on all the kissing instead of baking you can be doing instead. That’s a fact:

Valentine’s Yogurt Bark
Ingredients
- 4 (5.3 oz) cartons blueberry nondairy yogurt
- strawberries, sliced and cut into X’s, O’s and hearts (use mini cookie cutters)
- blueberries
- pomegranates
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
- Pour the nondairy yogurt into the pan and spread out evenly.
- Place the fruit on top, gently pressing down just a little in order to secure it in the yogurt.
- Freeze for a few hours or until set.
- Cut into squares.
Okay now you have a month to plan your Valentine’s Day treats. Make this yogurt bark part of your new family ritual on Lover’s morning.
I’m sure a dairy yogurt would work too? I live in Barbados, not sure if I’ve seen non dairy yogurt. Although I’m sure I could find it somewhere.
Oh absolutely would work, in fact, it would work better!
gorgeous! thankyou!
I’ll definitely be sharing this recipe on my blog! Looks delicious, fun and as always, so creative, Cara 😀
Fun, fun, FUNNNNNN!! [easy, too]
You had me at easy 😉
You know, if this had been in my inbox I wouldn’t have had an excuse (like I need one) to comment. Today’s schedule is to make coconut yogurt. I guess that means I have no excuses, not that I need one. So simple and, as always, ADORABLE just like Cara.
Oh and so I signed up again I was wondering what happened to you.
xoxoxo
Eeek, the RSS feed had been paused. Mystery solved! You should be getting them now, sorry friend. Must have been telepathy though because I was thinking about you, like, A LOT, lately. xo
Such a wonderful idea. This will be a wonderful treat for my kids. Now I just need to get those mini cutters. Happy soon to be V-Day! And I love your blog!
