Why You’ll Love This Bark
No-Bake & Freezer-Friendly: Just blend, layer, and freeze!
Protein-Rich & Creamy: The 2 cups of full-fat cottage cheese provide approximately 47 grams of protein!
Crunchy Topping: Garden Granola® Beetroot Ginger brings color, texture, and a hint of spice.
Naturally Sweetened: Made with bananas and a touch of honey.
Tips for Success
Use Ripe Bananas: For natural sweetness and easy slicing.
Smooth Blending: A high-speed blender or food processor works best.
Freeze Flat: Use a baking sheet to ensure even bark thickness.
Let It Sit: Take it out of the freezer about 10 minutes before eating for best texture.
Optional Customizations
Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter. Add freeze-dried berries for extra crunch, or drizzle with white chocolate for a festive twist. Want a lighter version? Use 2% cottage cheese instead of full fat.
