# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but gives you actual protein and probiotics, so your body feels as good as your taste buds.
  • The whole thing comes together in ten minutes of actual work, then the freezer does the rest while you forget about it.
  • Breaking it apart with your hands feels playful, like eating a frozen puzzle you made yourself.
02 -
  • Don't skip pressing the toppings down—I learned this the hard way when I opened the freezer to find all my nuts and apple scattered at one end like the bark had tilted.
  • The moment it comes out of the freezer is crucial; if it sits on the counter for even a few minutes, it starts to soften and loses that satisfying crunch you're going for.
03 -
  • Use parchment paper with a slight overhang so you can lift the entire frozen bark out and break it on a cutting board—it's easier and messier in the best way.
  • If your apples are particularly juicy, pat them dry before adding them so excess moisture doesn't weep into the yogurt and make it watery.
