Back when I switched to a plant-based kitchen, I wanted recipes my little niece would actually enjoy without turning snack time into a battle. Most vegan treats were either too bland or too processed.

So I created this bark using dairy-free yogurt and colorful toppings no added sugar, no stress. It’s cold, crunchy, and customizable, making it perfect for busy parents and curious little eaters.

The best part? Kids can help layer the fruit, sprinkle toppings, and “paint” with nut butter. It’s food and activity rolled into one.

Whether your toddler loves blueberries or your kindergartener prefers coconut flakes, this snack turns into a mini art project they can actually eat.
