Cook's notes

  • Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal.

Easy swaps

  • Use blood oranges or pomelos if you want to experiment with different citrus varieties.
  • Substitute maple syrup with date nectar for a lower glycemic index option.
  • Add hemp seeds or shredded coconut on top for added texture and healthy fats.
  • Incorporate a pinch of chili powder or tajin for a spicy, savory twist.
