🌱 Ingredients & Notes
Here's everything you need for these frozen protein bars:
- Coconut Yogurt - Use plain coconut yogurt for the best texture and flavor. It acts as the creamy base for the bars and helps them freeze well. I love the plain coconut yogurt from Coconut Collaborative for recipes like these bars.
- Vanilla Protein Powder - I like to use Vanilla Soy Protein Isolate. This protein powder gives the bars a sweet vanilla flavor and boosts the protein content. Feel free to use your favorite protein powder flavor if vanilla isn’t your top choice.
- Berries and/or Fruit - Raspberries work wonderfully here, but you can experiment with your favorite fruits for different flavors. These add natural sweetness and a refreshing touch to the bars.

💡 Tips & Tricks
- Use High-Quality Coconut Yogurt - Opt for plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt for the best texture and flavor. This ensures the bars freeze well without becoming too icy.
- Incorporate Protein Powder Slowly - When mixing the protein powder into the yogurt, add it gradually and stir gently with the back of a spoon to avoid clumping and achieve a smooth, thick consistency.
- Line Your Container - Always line your freezer-safe container with baking parchment or wax paper. This makes it much easier to remove the bars once frozen and ensures clean, neat edges when slicing.
- Allow to Slightly Thaw Before Slicing - The bars will be quite firm straight out of the freezer. Let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to prevent cracking and ensure easier cutting.
- Customize Your Portions - Adjust the size of the bars to suit your needs. Larger cuts work well as a light breakfast, while smaller slices are perfect for a quick snack.

📖 Recipe Card
Vegan Frozen Yogurt Protein Bars
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl or blender
- 1 freezer-proof dish
- 1 sharp knife
Ingredients
- 7 oz coconut yogurt (200g) use plain flavor
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (approx 2oz / 60 g) e.g. vanilla soy protein isolate
- 1 handful fresh berries e.g. raspberries
Instructions
- In a bowl or a blender, combine 200g of coconut yogurt with two scoops of vanilla soy protein powder. Use the back of a spoon to mix gently. Continue stirring until the powder is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes thick and almost dough-like.
- Line a rectangular, freezer-safe container with baking parchment or wax paper. Scatter a handful of berries or fruit across the bottom. This will create a fruity base for your bars.
- Spoon the yogurt and protein mixture into the container. Smooth the top with a spoon to create an even layer. Add more berries or fruit on top if desired for decoration.
- Place the container in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
- Remove the container from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to slightly soften. Slice into bars and enjoy this refreshing, high-protein snack.
Notes
- Serving - These Frozen Yogurt Protein Bars are best served slightly thawed to make slicing and eating easier. Let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving. They make a refreshing snack or a light breakfast option and pair well with fresh fruit or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor.
- Storage - Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, let them thaw slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. If you don't intend to serve them all up instantly, simply use a sharp knife to cut the frozen yoghurt into smaller bars and freeze them separately.
- All measurements are approximate and designed for easy preparation. Adjust slightly if needed.
- Tips for Success - Use plain, high-quality coconut yogurt for the creamiest texture. Make sure to fully incorporate the protein powder into the yogurt to avoid clumps. If you’re experimenting with different flavors, ensure the protein powder flavor complements the fruit you use. For a neater presentation, line your container with baking parchment or wax paper for easy removal and clean edges when slicing.
- Feel free to try different flavor combinations, such as chocolate protein powder with cherries or peanut butter with strawberries. Adding a sprinkle of granola or crushed nuts on top before freezing can also add a delicious extra crunch to the bars!
