Ingredient and storage notes

Clariberry contains Ontario honey, so this breakfast bowl is not vegan even when made with dairy-free yogurt. Check the product label and choose yogurt and toppings that suit your dietary needs.

Clariberry syrup is shelf-stable unopened for six months. Refrigerate the bottle after opening and follow the storage directions on the label. Adjust the amount in this serving idea to suit your taste.
