The product will call to mind the TikTok trend of homemade treats crafted with yogurt, fruit and additional ingredients, and features Nature Valley Granola covered in a yogurt base. The treat is thus both crunchy and creamy, and comes in two flavors including Strawberry and Honey Vanilla, which are each reported to be an excellent source of calcium and a good source of vitamins A and D. Nature Valley YoBark is available for purchase now from many [Albertson's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margarita-mixer-1) and Walmart locations with additional retailers slated to start receiving stock in January 2025.
