Notes
- Use unsweetened coconut yogurt for a lower sugar option.
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your preferred sweetness level or omit it entirely for a naturally sweet dish.
- Chia seeds help thicken the mixture if left to sit for a short period; enjoy immediately for a lighter texture or refrigerate briefly for a thicker consistency.
- Substitute nuts or granola with seeds or coconut flakes for different textures and flavors.
- Keep the fruits fresh by preparing them just before serving.
