• Vegan-friendly: Swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free coconut or almond-based yogurt and use maple syrup or agave for sweetness. It’s still creamy, fruity, and 100% plant-based!
• Low-sugar option: Reduce the honey or maple syrup, or use a low-carb sweetener like stevia or monk fruit to keep it lighter without sacrificing flavor.
• Berry swap: No blueberries? Try this recipe with strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even a mixed berry blend for a new twist every time.
• Add a citrus zing: Stir in a teaspoon of lemon or lime zest to brighten up the flavor and enhance the natural sweetness of the berries.
• Extra creamy version: Add a splash of heavy cream or use full-fat Greek yogurt for an ultra-rich and velvety texture.
• Toppings galore: Serve with granola, coconut flakes, dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey for extra crunch and sweetness.
• Make it a smoothie bowl: Scoop the frozen yogurt into a bowl and top it with nuts, seeds, and fresh fruit for a refreshing breakfast or snack.
