Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. You can also substitute agave syrup or maple syrup for honey if preferred. If you want to add a tropical twist, consider adding a banana or some fresh spinach for extra nutrients. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or using less pineapple juice based on your taste.
