Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?

Greek yogurt is thicker and higher in protein, but regular yogurt works (strain it for 30 mins in a cheesecloth for similar texture).

Is honey necessary? Can I substitute sugar?

Honey adds floral notes and antioxidants. For vegan/low-sugar, try maple syrup or stevia (adjust to taste).

How long can I store this dish?

Assemble fresh! Yogurt lasts 5-7 days in the fridge, but walnuts turn soggy if added ahead.

Are walnuts healthier toasted?

Toasting enhances flavor but slightly reduces nutrient density. Raw walnuts retain more omega-3s.

Can I make this diabetic-friendly?

Yes! Use low-sugar yogurt (unsweetened), reduce honey to 1 tsp/bowl, and add berries for sweetness.

Why full-fat yogurt?

It’s creamier, more satiating, and helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Low-fat versions work but are tangier.
