# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but won't make you feel guilty afterward.
  • Your kids (or you) will actually ask for it, which never happens with health food.
  • Minimal prep means more time to sit down instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't skip pressing the toppings in or they'll just fall off when you bite into the bark—the pressure makes them stick.
  • If your yogurt is too thick and won't spread, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or thin it with a splash of milk.
03 -
  • If you like extra texture, crush a handful of granola and sprinkle it on before freezing—it stays crispy and adds a dimension most people don't expect.
  • Make a double batch and break it into smaller pieces, then freeze in a zip-lock bag for grab-and-go snacking that feels less casual than it actually is.
