INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:

RED GRAPES:

• We use red grapes, as they provide natural sweetness and juiciness. You can replace them with green grapes, blueberries, blackberries, or cherries.

STRAWBERRIES:

• We utilize strawberries, which give freshness and vibrant color. As a replacement, use raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or peaches.

GREEK YOGURT:

• We use Greek yogurt to create a creamy and protein-rich dressing. You can alternate it with coconut yogurt, dairy-free yogurt, or skyr.

HONEY:

• We add honey to naturally sweeten the fruit salad. As an alternative, use maple syrup, agave nectar, or date syrup.

LEMON JUICE:

• To counterbalance the sweetness and provide brightness, we utilize lemon juice. Orange or lime juice can be used instead.

CINNAMON:

• We utilize cinnamon to provide warm flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits. As a substitute, use ground ginger or cardamom.

WALNUTS:

• We use walnuts to add crunch and healthy omega-3 fats. You can swap them with pecans, almonds, pistachios, or pumpkin seeds.

CHIA SEEDS:

• We utilize chia seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats. As a replacement, use flaxseeds or hemp seeds.

MINT:

• We use fresh mint to provide a refreshing flavor and aroma. You can switch it out with fresh basil.

SHREDDED COCONUT:

• We have to utilize shredded coconut for a crunchy texture & sweet taste. As an alternative, use sliced almonds or simply omit them.
