Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt instead of low-fat yogurt. You can substitute granola with crushed nuts or seeds for added crunch and protein. If you're looking for a sweeter option, try adding honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also mix in fruits like berries or banana slices for extra flavor and nutrition. This recipe is a great way to use leftover yogurt.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The mixture may thicken, so give it a good stir before serving again. Avoid freezing, as the yogurt's texture may change. If you plan to reheat, do so gently in the microwave to maintain the dish's consistency.
