Notes
- Use low-sugar or sugar-free options for the yogurt and whipped cream to keep the recipe healthier.
- For extra crunch, add pretzels just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- This recipe serves one but can easily be scaled up for more servings.
- Substitute Cocowhip with any whipped cream of choice, or use a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
- To boost protein further, add a scoop of protein powder mixed into the yogurt before combining.
