- Adjust the amount of honey to your desired sweetness or omit it completely for a sugar-free option.
- Use any seasonal berries or fruit in place of raspberries and mango for variety.
- Choose gluten-free granola if you require a gluten-free dessert or snack.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted with a plant-based yogurt for a vegan-friendly version.
