Coach's Notes:

  • Versatility: This dish can be a great breakfast, snack, or dessert.

  • Sugar Watch: Be mindful of the honey amount since the fruit already contains natural sugars.

  • Serving Suggestion: For added crunch and flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of nuts or seeds on top.

  • Customization: Feel free to swap or add other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or pineapple for variety.
