FAQs
Can I use a different nut butter?

Yes, you can prepare the yogurt and peanut butter base in advance. Store it in an airtight container and add the granola and fresh fruit just before eating.
What kind of granola works best?
Any granola will work, but choose one with minimal added sugar for a healthier option. You can also make your own homemade granola for added control over ingredients.
Can I make this bowl sweeter?
If you want it sweeter, feel free to add more honey, maple syrup, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Can I use a different type of apple?
While Honeycrisp apples are recommended for their sweetness and crunch, any variety of apple can work. Try Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith for different tastes.
How can I make this bowl dairy-free?
Use non-dairy yogurt such as almond milk yogurt, coconut yogurt, or oat milk yogurt, and make sure your granola is dairy-free.
Can I add more protein to this bowl?
For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder to the yogurt base, or top with nuts and seeds.
