Notes
You can swap almond butter with other nut butters like cashew butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter.
Add a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup to sweeten the bowl to your taste.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and cottage cheese alternatives like coconut or almond-based products.
If you don’t have cacao nibs, dark chocolate chips can be used as a rich, chocolaty alternative.
Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
If raspberries aren’t available, feel free to use blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
