BERRIES:

We can utilize fresh or frozen berries. Defrost & dry properly then add them. It is best to utilize a mix of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries to make this dish, as they add fiber, vitamins, & a natural sweet taste.

WHOLE-GRAIN BREAD:

Utilize the whole-grain bread and toast it till crisp. It will significantly increase the protein & fiber content. It is best to utilize a high-protein or sprouted grain bread to make this dish.

MINT LEAVES:

Add the fresh mint leaves, which have a bright, herbaceous note in them, and they will provide the perfect flavor that cuts through the richness of the cheese.
