Ingredient and dietary restriction substitution ideas
- Make it dairy free and vegan. Use your favorite plant-based yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt.
- Make it nut free. Use another milk, such as hemp milk, and swap the almonds for hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds.
- Use vanilla extract instead of almond extract. The almond extract adds a cake-like flavor, while vanilla will just enhance the other flavors of the recipe.
