Top with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate if you feel fancy. Want more protein? Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder and reduce the cocoa slightly. FYI, this one freezes into pops like a dream.

Crush a handful of granola and a few chopped toasted almonds on top for that “pie crumble” moment. Swap almond butter for cashew butter if you want a softer, buttery flavor. Pro tip: add 1–2 teaspoons of lemon juice to brighten the cherry flavor even more.
