Adaptations
What’s awesome about this recipe is that you can doctor it up however you’d like! Add some fruit jam for a yummy swirl, put in vanilla and cinnamon for a comforting breakfast, or add lemon juice and lemon zest to make it taste like a coconut lemon cake—the options are endless!
If you don’t like coconuts or can’t eat them, you can substitute them with any other type of full-fat plant milk. Do not try and substitute it with dairy milk, as that is a whole different process, and make sure your substitutions are full-fat!
You can also use any probiotic brand of your choosing, just make sure to check it’s freshness!
