# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like mini frozen cheesecakes but come together with zero cooking and barely any mess.
  • The combination of creamy tangy yogurt and sweet frozen banana is genuinely addictive and happens to be wholesome enough for breakfast.
02 -
  • Let the bites sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating because straight from the freezer they are rock hard and the flavors wake up beautifully with a brief thaw.
  • Dairy free yogurt alternatives work just as well but choose a thick one since runny varieties slide right off the banana slices.
03 -
  • Pat the banana slices dry with a paper towel before dipping because excess moisture makes the yogurt slide right off.
  • Work in small batches keeping most banana slices covered so they do not oxidize and turn brown while you dip.
