# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They satisfy that ice cream craving while giving you a solid protein boost
- The texture transformation from frozen yogurt to something almost like cheesecake is magic
02 -
- The longer these freeze, the firmer they get, so if you prefer a softer texture, eat them within the first week
- Using a scoop instead of a spoon makes such a difference in getting uniform rounds that look professional
03 -
- Work quickly once the yogurt mixture is out of the fridge, it gets softer and harder to scoop as it warms up
- If you want them extra fancy, roll the edges in crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts right after scooping
