FAQs
Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?
Yes, but be mindful of added sugars which may affect the overall sweetness. Plain yogurt gives you more control over flavor and nutrition.
What if I don’t have protein powder?
The bowl still tastes great without it. You can boost protein by adding a spoonful of nut butter or some chopped nuts instead.
