- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut or other plant-based yogurt.

- Include a small handful of spinach for added nutrients without altering flavor significantly.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.
