# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Effortless preparation: Just 10 minutes of active work—the freezer handles the rest.
  • Naturally nutritious: Greek yogurt delivers protein while keeping each serving to around 130 calories.
  • Gluten-free and vegetarian: Suitable for a wide range of dietary needs without any compromise on flavor.
  • Visually stunning: The contrast of creamy white yogurt, red strawberries, and green pistachios makes it as beautiful as it is delicious.
  • Easily customizable: Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries, or drizzle with dark chocolate for an extra-special touch.
02 -
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier, richer bark that freezes with a better texture than low-fat versions.
  • Pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel before placing them on the yogurt to prevent excess moisture from making the bark icy.
  • Roughly chop the pistachios so they vary in size—this gives more interesting texture and better coverage across the bark.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper—it makes lifting and breaking the frozen bark effortless without sticking.
  • Work quickly when spreading the yogurt if your kitchen is warm, to keep the mixture from becoming too soft before topping.
