Macro Adjustments:

Below outlines the items in each macro group that are easily adjustable to meet your specific macros.

Fat:

The fat in this recipe comes from many different ingredients. This is a relatively low-fat recipe, if you were looking to drop a few fat macros you could remove the Cacao Nibs completely, as those are just a topping. This would reduce the fat macro by 3 grams pre serving. If you are looking to increasing the fat, the easiest way would be to use a higher fat greek yogurt instead of a non-fat greek yogurt.

Carbohydrates:

The carbs in this recipe come mainly from the oats and the honey. The honey helps to sweeten the recipe but is not necessary. If you are looking to reduce the carbs removing the honey would be the easiest way to go. However, you can also easily increase or decrease the oats to adjust your carbs.

Protein:

The protein in this recipe comes from a few different ingredients, but the majority comes from the yogurt. A very easy ingredient to increase or decrease to reach your specific macro goals. You could also add a scoop of plain, vanilla, or chocolate protein powder to boost the protein in this recipe!

Meal Prep:

Yes, this recipe is meal prep-able. However, after 2-3 days the yogurt may begin to separate. This is ok, you can simply stir everything together and it is fine.

Freezer Friendly:

Sorry, this recipe is not freezer-friendly. Everything will be a mushy and soggy mess once defrosted.
