I love how versatile they are. You can use regular milk, almond milk, coconut milk or any milk of your choice.

Some other things that you can add are granola, coconut or seeds of your choice! You can use berries and nuts.

You may want to use nut butter and chocolate chips. Dark chocolate is good for you right? How about some chopped apples, cinnamon and honey! 

Whatever you choose, they are fantastic!!!
