Easter is pretty synonymous with chocolate, but if you’re ready to give the chocolate bunny a break and snack on a treat that’s protein-packed and a lot healthier, you need to try my Easter Yogurt Bark. It’s creamy, crunchy, yes, chocolatey, and a lot lower in sugar than other popular Easter candies. But with the addition of Whoppers Robin Eggs, you definitely won’t feel deprived.
Let’s talk about how to make it—it couldn’t be easier!
Why You’ll Love This Easter Yogurt Bark Recipe
Packed with Protein: This dessert packs 70g of protein into each batch. It’s an absolute win for those who are trying to prioritize their protein intake, but also have a sweet tooth.
Simple and Easy to Make: This yogurt bark comes together in under 5 minutes, then just needs to be frozen and cut into pieces to enjoy. It seriously couldn’t be easier—you could even get the kids to help!
Versatile & Customizable: Don’t like peanut butter? Swap it for something else. You could also try adding a drizzle of jam or lemon curd instead of the PB and chocolate. It’s all really up to you!
The Perfect Easter Dessert—But Also Great Anytime: This festive, springy treat is perfect for your Easter celebration or any other time of year. Just swap out the seasonal ingredients accordingly.
Ingredients
1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (I used Siggi’s—thick and creamy!)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (Clean Simple Eats works great here)
2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter, mixed with a little water
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Flaky salt (optional)
10 Whoppers Robin Eggs, smashed
Instructions
Mix the yogurt base: In a large bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and protein powder. Give it a taste and make sure it’s sweet enough for you. If it’s not, add a little honey or your favorite sweetener.
Spread out the yogurt mixture: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread the yogurt mixture in a thin layer over the parchment. Drizzle the peanut butter and water mixture over the yogurt base.
Melt the chocolate chips: In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix together the mini chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Heat in 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Once the chocolate is melted, drizzle it evenly over the yogurt bark.
Add the toppings: If you’d like, sprinkle the yogurt bark with flaky salt. Then, smash the Whoppers Robin Eggs and scatter them all over the bark.
Freeze: Transfer the pan with the yogurt bark to the freezer and freeze until fully set, at least 2 hours. Once it’s frozen, break or slice the bark into pieces and enjoy!

Swaps & Substitutions
Add more chocolate: Use chocolate protein powder to add extra chocolate flavor to your yogurt bark (and make it taste more like a Reese’s egg).
Try different toppings: Whether you don’t celebrate Easter or you’re just making this bark during a different season, the base of this recipe works so well with so many different toppings. Try chopped almonds or cashews, crushed pretzels, coconut flakes, graham cracker pieces, and more.
Make it sweeter: If you want the base to be a bit sweeter (or you’re using an unsweetened protein powder), mix in a little bit of honey, agave, or maple syrup to the yogurt and protein powder mixture.
Make it dairy-free: If you’re allergic to dairy or just don’t tolerate it well, try making this recipe with a plant-based yogurt, vegan protein powder, and dairy-free chocolate chips. Leave off the Robin Eggs or use a dairy-free alternative.
FAQs
-
This Easter yogurt bark will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the freezer when stored in an airtight container. Keep it frozen until you’re ready to eat it for best results!
-
You can, but it’ll make your bark less sweet and will reduce the overall protein content of your treat. If you don’t love the flavor of protein powder, try switching it up (I love Clean Simple Eats) or scale back the amount (which will still lower the protein content). If you need to add a little sweetener, try honey or maple syrup.
-
Because this delicious dessert is served frozen, you might find the bark a little hard to eat. If that’s the case, try letting your yogurt bark sit at room temperature for about 2-3 minutes before eating.
-
You can use any kind of chocolate you’d like—dark chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, they’ll all work. Whatever you like best will be great.
-
Store leftover yogurt bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For best results (and the easiest snacking), separate layers of bark with sheets of parchment paper to keep the bark from sticking together.
This Easter Yogurt Bark is such an easy, fun way to enjoy a festive treat while keeping your protein intake high. Whether you’re meal-prepping snacks for the week or just need a healthier alternative to Easter candy, this one’s a must-try.
