What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1**Meal Prep Hack**: Portion yogurt into containers the night before. Store berries, nuts, and seeds separately and add them right before eating to prevent sogginess.
- 2**Temperature Play**: For a refreshing twist, use slightly frozen berries; they'll create a delightful icy texture as they thaw into the yogurt.
- 3**Texture Variety**: Experiment with different nuts like pecans, cashews, or pistachios, and seeds such as flax seeds, hemp seeds, or pumpkin seeds for varied textures and nutrients.
- 4**Yogurt Choice**: While Greek yogurt offers high protein, feel free to use skyr, plain regular yogurt, or even a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt based on your dietary preferences.
