This Matcha and Acai Frozen Yoghurt Date Bark is a fun and delicious take on the viral date bark trend with a fro-yo dairy-free filling and a protein packed chocolate top. Naturally no-bake, these are vegan and gluten-free.
I love anything with dates and chocolate plus I also love matcha, so it was only a matter of time before they all came together to make one delicious snack. These bites require no baking and they are made with just a handful of wholesome ingredients that you probably already have at home. They are easy to make in a few steps and are perfect for those hungry moments when you crave something chocolatey. You can play around with the toppings but I love the puffed quinoa stirred through and a sprinkling of flaky salt.

What ingredients do I need?
You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.
For the bars:
- Medjool dates: the squishier the better.
- Thick coconut yoghurt: I use Cocos Organic which is great for a boost of gut-healthy microbes. Make sure the yoghurt is Greek-style, thick and creamy.
- Matcha powder: this is from Naturale Bio and is their organic premium matcha. Make sure you use a good quality matcha for the best flavour.
- Dark chocolate: I love using Raw Halo chocolate buttons which are so delicious and are made with only a few ingredients.
- Acai powder: this is from Naturale Bio and adds a lovely berry flavour as well as lots of antioxidants (it’s a real powerhouse of vitamins and minerals).
- Puffed quinoa: this adds protein and a great crunch on top.
- Flaky salt: for a lovely saltiness on top.
Are these gluten-free and nut-free?
These are naturally gluten-free and nut-free.
