Ingredients For Yogurt Bark

This Chocolate Berry Yogurt Bark is healthy and packed with flavor. Let’s break down the ingredients that make it so irresistible…

  • Chocolate Chips: Melted and swirled throughout the bark for rich chocolate flavor. We used semi-sweet, but milk chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate would all be good.
  • Greek Yogurt: Vanilla Greek yogurt creates a creamy, lightly sweet base.
  • Fresh Berries or Fresh Fruit: We used blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, but see below for more ideas!

With just chocolate, creamy Greek yogurt, and fresh berries, you’ve got a snack that’s as pretty as it is delicious!

Other Mix-Ins & Toppings

This yogurt bark is easy to customize, so feel free to get creative with mix-ins and toppings.

Try adding sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, mango, or cherries for more fruit flavor. 

Granola, chopped nuts, cookies, sprinkles, or coconut flakes add great crunch, while chia seeds, pepitas, or hemp hearts bring a little extra nutrition.

You can also swap the chocolate swirl for white chocolate, drizzle with honey or pure maple syrup, or sprinkle on crushed pretzels for a sweet-salty twist. Mix and match to make it your own.

How to Make Yogurt Bark

Making this yogurt bark is easier than you think! A few simple steps and you’ll have a colorful, chocolatey treat ready to chill.

  • Melt: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth. Let cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the yogurt.
  • Spread: Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat mat or wax paper and evenly spread the Greek yogurt into a smooth layer.
  • Top: Sprinkle the fresh berries evenly over the yogurt.
  • Swirl: Dot the melted chocolate over the bark, then use a toothpick to gently swirl it through the yogurt.
  • Freeze: Place the&n

Healthy Spinach and Sausage Egg Casserole

Web Admin 0 30 Article rating: No rating

I created this low-carb spinach and sausage egg casserole based on our other egg casserole recipes, but I really wanted an easy, cheesy breakfast casserole with crumbled sausage for a hearty, but still healthy, start to your morning.

Best of all, you can make it ahead of time, so it’s the perfect breakfast casserole for Christmas morning or weekend brunch!

Ingredients for Egg and Sausage Casserole

  • Breakfast Sausage: Provides savory, meaty flavor and richness. Its fat also helps keep the casserole moist and infuses the eggs and veggies with flavor. 
  • Eggs: The main binder and base of the casserole. They set as they bake, holding everything together while adding protein and structure. 
  • Skim Milk: Lightens the egg mixture, making the texture more custardy and less dense. It also helps distribute flavors more evenly throughout the dish. 
  • Salt and Black Pepper: Basic seasoning to enhance all the other flavors. Salt balances richness, and pepper adds gentle warmth.
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Adds bold, tangy flavor and creamy texture. Sharp cheddar stands out against the eggs and sausage, giving the casserole depth.
  • Dried Oregano: Brings a warm, earthy, slightly peppery note that complements both the sausage and cheese, adding a layer of herbal flavor. 
  • Fresh Spinach: Adds color, nutrients, and a fresh contrast to the richness of the meat and cheese. It also brings a bit of moisture and balance.

How to Make Sausage and Egg Casserole

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13″ casserole dish.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium high heat and cook the sausage. Drain the grease and set aside.
  3. Combine: Beat the eggs and milk in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add in the sausage, cheese, oregano and spinach and stir to combine.
  4. Bake: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 30-40 minutes.

Are Breakfast Egg Casseroles Healthy?

The short answer is that it depends! It depends on what goes into the egg casserole. This recipe is low carb (2g) and high protein (16g) with a full serving being only about 250 calories. That’s a hearty and satisfying breakfast!

Our easy overnight oats recipe only needs 2 ingredients, oats and chocolate milk! A healthy and simple breakfast for busy mornings when you’re in a hurry. Eat it warmed up or straight out of the fridge!

Breakfast Rut

I’m kind of in a meal funk lately. Dinners aren’t the problem though. It’s breakfast and lunch. Which is actually unfair because I’ve always loved breakfast! As a kid I loved something as simple as Cheerios (with more sugar than I care to admit) or as complex as omelets, french toast or muffins.

Nowadays I tend to rotate between eggs, cottage cheese with toppings (see my high protein Cottage Cheese Bowl, or Savory Oats which are a major favorite) protein shakes, or simply avocado toast. But lately…

Lately nothing sounds good and nothing satisfies me.

Anyone else in a rut?

On a whim I threw together these Hot Cocoa Overnight Oats made with a limited edition TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow chocolate milk and we ended up making them multiple times in a week!

What are Overnight Oats?

Overnight oats are a no-cook breakfast made by soaking raw rolled oats in a liquid, like milk or yogurt, in the refrigerator overnight. The soaking process softens the oats, creating a creamy, chilled dish similar to a pudding or porridge that can be eaten cold in the morning without any cooking. You can also give them a quick zap in the microwave if cold oatmeal isn’t your vibe. They are healthy make-ahead breakfast that are totally customizable to whatever your family loves.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need 2 ingredients for this easy overnight oats recipes!

  • Chocolate Milk: Adds rich cocoa flavor and sweetness while making the oats extra creamy.
  • Old Fashioned Oats: Soak up the milk perfectly for a soft, creamy texture that’s never mushy.

How to Make Chocolate Overnight Oats

  1. Combine: Add the milk and oats to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Divide into Servings: Spoon into the containers you plan to use.
  3. Refrigerate: Store in the fridge overnight. They will be ready to eat in the morning.
  4. Garnish (Optional): Top with whipped topping, marshmallows and mini chocolate chips the next morning. Serve warm or cold. Feel free to stir in other add-ins! See section below.
