Servings

Calories 145kcal

Ingredients

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp turmeric plus extra to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup golden flaxseeds
1/4 cup ribbon coconut lightly toasted
2 Tbsp dried barberries or chopped dried cranberries
1 oz dark chocolate
1 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

Line 9 x 12 inch shallow-sided baking sheet with parchment paper. A large lasagna pan will also work. Set aside.
In bowl, combine yogurt, maple syrup, turmeric, and black pepper. Whisk together to blend. Pour into lined tray and spread out evenly. Scatter with walnuts, flaxseeds, coconut, and barberries or cranberries.
In small saucepan on stovetop, melt chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring until smooth. Drizzle in strands over yogurt.
Freeze tray until bark is firm, preferably overnight. To serve, break bark into chunks. Return any remaining bark to freezer to prevent melting.

Notes

Mood boost!

Be sure to add a pinch of black pepper whenever using turmeric in a recipe. The two spices are brain-friendly besties! The piperine in black pepper helps your body better absorb an anti-inflammatory compound in turmeric called curcumin—and curcumin may have beneficial effects on memory and mood.
