Notes
💡 Pro Tips:
✔ Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or peaches for variety.
✔ Use cashew or peanut butter instead of almond butter for a different flavor.
✔ Add a sprinkle of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
If you would like fewer calories & carbs, only use 1 Tablespoon of almond butter and 1 Tablespoon of pepitas (or omit the pepitas entirely).
Using only 1 Tablespoon of each would remove 4 carbs and 141 calories.
You can also use lower-carb fruits like raspberries or strawberries.
