# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but sneaks in real protein and probiotics from the yogurt.
  • Prep takes barely ten minutes, then the freezer does all the work while you forget about it.
  • Breaking it into shards makes everyone feel like they're eating something fancy, even though it's genuinely simple.
02 -
  • If your yogurt is too runny, it won't freeze properly; stick with Greek yogurt specifically because regular yogurt won't set up the same way.
  • Don't skip pressing the toppings in—I learned this the hard way when half my apple pieces slid off mid-freeze and ended up in a clump at the corner.
03 -
  • Freeze the apples separately for five minutes before adding if you want them to stay crisp instead of getting soft.
  • Brown your nuts in a dry skillet first if you have the time—it deepens the flavor in a way that feels like a secret only you know.
