Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Varianten und Anpassungen
This recipe is highly adaptable. Use any combination of berries you prefer, and for a dairy-free version, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with your favorite plant-based alternative. If you have a nut allergy, omit the sliced almonds and stick to the seeds and coconut.
