Questions & Answers
- → What type of yogurt works best for this dish?
Greek yogurt, either plain or vanilla, provides a creamy texture and rich flavor, but dairy-free alternatives can be used for a vegan-friendly version.
- → Can I use other fruits besides berries and banana?
Absolutely! Seasonal fruits like mango, kiwi, or peaches can be substituted to add variety and freshness.
- → How can I keep the granola crunchy?
Toasting the granola briefly before assembling and serving immediately helps maintain its crisp texture, preventing it from becoming soggy.
- → Is it possible to prepare this in advance?
It's best assembled just before serving to keep granola crisp, though fruit and yogurt can be prepared ahead separately.
- → What are some optional garnish ideas?
Adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts and fresh mint leaves provides added crunch and a burst of flavor.
