What are the health benefits of cacao nibs?

Cacao nibs are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and magnesium, offering a chocolate flavor without added sugar.

Are goji berries necessary?

No, they can be omitted or replaced with other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates.

How do I keep granola crunchy?

Add granola just before serving to retain its crunch.

Is bee pollen safe for everyone?

Bee pollen is nutritious but may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Avoid if allergic to pollen, bees, or honey.

Assemble the fruit and yogurt the night before, but add crunchy toppings (granola, nuts, seeds) in the morning.
