❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I make this ahead of time?
✅ Yes! Assemble up to 4 hours ahead (bananas may brown slightly—toss them in lemon juice to prevent this).
2. Can I use frozen fruit?
⚠️ Fresh is best, but thawed frozen fruit works (pat dry to avoid excess liquid).
3. How long does it last?
🍽 Best eaten within 24 hours (fruits release juices over time).
4. Can I make it vegan?
✅ Absolutely! Use coconut yogurt + maple syrup.
5. What other fruits work well?
🍍 Try: Mango, kiwi, blueberries, or peaches!
6. Can I add granola or nuts?
