Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes—though Greek yogurt is thicker and higher in protein. If using regular yogurt, reduce any added sweetener since it’s often less tangy.
What fruits work best besides berries?
Banana slices, mango chunks, kiwi, or even baked apples pair well. Choose seasonal fruits for the best flavor.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely—swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt or almond-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
