Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain 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
  • 1/2 cup granola (your favorite variety)
  • 3/4 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 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.
