Discover a refreshing, nutrient-packed way to beat the heat with this Cool Summer Kitchen Series class featuring a DIY Yogurt Bark, led by returning Culinary Nutritionist Sonia Verrilli-Jabon. This cool, customizable treat is perfect for warm days, post-workout snacks, or guilt-free desserts.

In this session, you will learn how to create yogurt bark with dairy-free, gluten-free variations using plant-based yogurts such as coconut, almond, or cashew. We will explore a variety of flavor profiles—from Mediterranean-inspired combinations with figs, pistachios, and honey, to antioxidant-rich berry blends, tropical citrus infusions, and even chocolate-inspired indulgent options.

Beyond flavor, this class highlights how to elevate your yogurt bark with functional ingredients that support overall wellness. Discover how to incorporate superfoods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, cacao nibs, and adaptogenic add-ins to boost fiber, protein, and anti-inflammatory benefits. You will also gain inspiration for creating visually stunning, layered bark designs that make this simple recipe feel elevated and fun.

Whether you are preparing snacks for your family, entertaining guests, or looking for a nourishing treat that aligns with your health goals, this class offers versatile techniques and creative inspiration to make yogurt bark a staple in your summer kitchen.
