1cupplain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk for extra creaminess), or thick plant-based Greek-style yogurt
1–2 teaspoons honey (vegetarian) or maple syrup (vegan), plus more to taste
1/2cupgranola (your favorite variety)
3/4cupfresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
1tablespoonchia seeds
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Small pinch of sea salt (optional, to balance sweetness)
Instructions
Sweeten the yogurt: In a bowl, stir the yogurt with honey (vegetarian) or maple syrup (vegan) and vanilla, if using. Add a tiny pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
Prep the berries: Rinse, dry, and slice larger berries. Patting them dry helps keep the layers neat and prevents sogginess.
Layer 1—Yogurt: Spoon a third of the yogurt into a glass or jar.
Layer 2—Berries: Add a layer of mixed berries.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest.
Layer 3—Chia and Granola: Sprinkle half the chia seeds and a third of the granola.
Repeat: Add more yogurt, berries, chia, and granola. Finish with the remaining yogurt and a final sprinkle of granola.
Top and serve: Drizzle with a little extra honey or maple syrup and add the last of the berries. Enjoy right away for maximum crunch.
