Treat yourself to a bedtime snack, inspired by our relaxing The Ritual of Jing collection.

Although I’m a big advocate for a healthy lifestyle, I also have my pitfalls. Late-night snacking is definitely one of them. After a day of healthy eating and exercising, cravings for something sweet before bed often pop up more often than not. For anyone who can relate, I came up with this recipe: lavender yoghurt bark with berries.  

This is a great recipe for several reasons: 1) you make it in a batch and store it in the freezer, so you always have a stash on hand, 2) it’s light and refreshing without being a massive sugar bomb, and 3) it’s a wink to The Ritual of Jing collection. 

The Ritual of Jing inspires relaxation, and nothing is more important than cultivating a healthy bedtime routine. Inspired by the ancient Chinese concept of Jing, representing calmness, stillness, and tranquility, The Ritual of Jing helps you find your path to inner peace and cultivate the art of calm and tranquility. 

Let the yogurt bark be an invitation to start your healthy bedtime routine, so you can unwind and fully relax in those last moments before bed. 

Good to know: the thyme is optional, but it is thought to have a calming effect on the nervous system. 

Cooking time: 10 minutes (+ 4 hours waiting) 

Serves: 8 

Ingredients:  

- 400 g Greek yoghurt 

- 2 tbsp maple syrup  

- 1 tbsp dried lavender flowers (+ extra for the presentation) 

- A pinch of salt 

- 2 tbsp blueberry jam  

- 100 g mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) 

- A pinch of salt 

- Optional: fresh thyme leaves for garnish 

Steps:  

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
2. In a bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt with the maple syrup, dried lavender flowers, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
3. Spread the yoghurt mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer.
4. Divide the blueberry jam in small teaspoons over the yoghurt and marble it into the yoghurt with a butter knife.
5. Scatter the mixed berries over the top, pressing them lightly into the yoghurt. Garnish with some extra lavender flowers and with some thyme, if using any.  
    
6. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the bark is solid and fully set.
7. Break the frozen yoghurt bark into pieces and store in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy as a healthy snack whenever cravings hit.
