Greek Yogurt Bark
A frozen yogurt slab studded with berries and nuts, snapped into shards: a protein-rich alternative to ice-cream tubs.
Estimated. Worked out from the ingredients using the UK food composition tables, so treat it as a guide rather than a measurement. A typical recipe lands within about a quarter of the true figure. Makes about 6.

- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup mixed berries

Plant & Growing Tips
Mixed Berries (Strawberries)
- Plant bare-root runners in spring in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
- Mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep berries clean.
Mixed Berries (Blueberries)
- Require acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5) and full sun; plant in spring or fall, and consider growing in large containers if your soil is not naturally acidic.
- Prune annually in late winter to remove old canes and encourage new growth.
Mixed Berries (Raspberries)
- Plant canes in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun, providing a trellis or support system for their growth.
- Water deeply, especially during fruit production, and prune out old fruiting canes after harvest.
Natural Pest Control
- Birds love berries; use netting over plants as fruits begin to ripen to protect your harvest.
- Slugs and snails can chew on ripening fruit; use beer traps or sprinkle crushed eggshells around plants.
- Aphids can infest new growth; spray with insecticidal soap or introduce ladybugs.
Harvest
Mixed Berries (Strawberries)
- Pick when fully red and ripe; they do not continue to ripen after being picked.
Mixed Berries (Blueberries)
- Harvest when they are fully blue and easily detach from the stem; unripe berries are tart.
Mixed Berries (Raspberries)
- Pick when fruits are fully colored, plump, and easily pull away from their core.
Storing & Freezing
Freeze in an airtight container up to 1 month.
