Notes
Customization: Feel free to adjust the fruit and toppings to your taste. You can also experiment with adding almond butter or a variety of nuts.
Sweeteners: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add maple syrup instead of honey.
For a vegan option: Use plant-based milk and yogurt (such as almond milk and coconut yogurt) to keep it vegan-friendly.
