Notes
- For a healthier alternative, use oat-based crumbs instead of regular graham crackers.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference or dietary needs.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available, just thaw slightly before use.
- Optional toppings like chia seeds and granola add texture and extra nutrition, but can be omitted for a simpler bowl.
