Notes

Choosing the Right Yogurt:Whether you prefer Greek yogurt for its thickness and protein content or regular yogurt for a lighter texture, make sure to select a flavor that complements your fruit choice.nGranola Tips:Homemade granola allows you to control the sweetness and ingredients, making it a healthier choice. If you prefer store-bought, look for one with minimal added sugars and natural ingredients.nFruit Freshness:Use ripe, in-season fruits for the best flavor. Berries are always a great choice, but feel free to experiment with mango, kiwi, or even a tropical mix.
