Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
Plain Greek yogurt can be replaced with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free and vegan option. Coconut yogurt offers a similar creamy texture and tangy flavor. Use a 1:1 ratio, but note that coconut yogurt may have a slightly different nutritional profile.
Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar for those avoiding bee products. Use slightly less maple syrup or agave, as they are sweeter than honey. For a sugar-free option, consider using stevia or monk fruit sweetener, adjusting to taste.
Fresh strawberries can be swapped with any seasonal fruit such as blueberries, peaches, or mango. Frozen fruit can also work well, though it may release more liquid when thawed. For a lower-carb option, consider using a mixture of berries, which tend to be lower in sugar than other fruits. Adjust the quantity based on the fruit’s sweetness and water content.

Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of honey over the yogurt in each glass or bowl.

You can slice the strawberries for easier layering and a more visually appealing presentation.
