CRUCIAL TIPS:

Always taste-test sweetness gradually – stevia can quickly become bitter if overdone
Keep nuts separate until serving if preparing in advance
Use room temperature stevia for better dissolution
Store in an airtight container if not eating immediately

Add nuts just before eating for maximum crunch

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID:

Using regular yogurt instead of Greek (too runny)
Adding too much stevia at once
Not mixing sweetener thoroughly
Storing with nuts mixed in (they’ll soften)

TOP TIP:

For the creamiest texture, let yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before mixing in stevia – it’ll blend more smoothly and taste less tart.
