Instructions

- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup, or omit entirely for a more natural taste.
- Use any type of milk based on preference or dietary needs, including almond, oat, or cow’s milk.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative and use maple syrup as the sweetener.
- To boost protein content, add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter.
