Notes
Substitutions
- Pumpkin subs: Applesauce, although not as nutrient-dense, makes a great substitute.
- Dairy-free subs for yogurt: plant-based yogurt or milk, mashed banana or 1/2 avocado.
- Yogurt subs: sour cream, crème fraîche, ricotta, or cottage cheese.
- Fruit: I love pears in my bowl (so “fall”!). Apples, oranges, berries, plums, peaches, bananas … Really, almost any fruit will be great.
- Almond butter: try peanut, cashew, sunflower, hazelnut butter.
- Flaxseed: Chia seeds or hemp hearts.
Add-ons
Sprinkle in whole or chopped nuts or seeds as you like.
