Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer and creamier texture.
  • Choose the freshest fruits available to maximize flavor and color vibrancy.
  • Soak chia seeds for 5 minutes in a small amount of yogurt to enhance crunch and digestibility if desired.
  • Opt for homemade or low-sugar granola to control sweetness.
  • Add sweeteners gradually to avoid overpowering natural fruit flavors.
  • Customize with alternatives like plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option.
  • Enhance the bowl by adding nut butters, spices, or chocolate chips according to preference.
