Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt full-fat or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • a handful fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries) thawed if frozen, drained excess moisture
  • 1/4 cup granola preferably toasted for extra flavor
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional

Equipment

  • Small jar with lid
  • Spoon
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by washing and preparing your toppings: drain excess moisture from thawed berries, zest your citrus, and chop nuts if using. Keep everything within reach for easy layering.
  2. Scoop about three-quarters of a cup of creamy Greek yogurt into your small jar, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly across the bottom.
  3. Drizzle a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt, gently swirling it in to add a touch of sweetness.
  4. Add a handful of fresh berries on top, creating a vibrant, juicy layer that bursts with color and flavor.
  5. Sprinkle a quarter cup of toasted granola over the berries, adding crunch and warmth to the layers.
  6. Sprinkle a teaspoon of chia seeds over the granola for added texture and healthy fats, if desired.
  7. Use a microplane or zester to grate fresh citrus zest over the layered ingredients, brightening the flavor with a zingy aroma.
  8. Add another layer of the remaining yogurt, smoothing it lightly for a clean, finished look on top.
  9. Garnish with extra berries, nuts, or coconut flakes if desired, then seal the jar tightly with the lid.
  10. Enjoy immediately for the freshest crunch, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours—just add crunchy toppings right before serving to keep them crisp.

Notes

For best texture, add granola just before eating. Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits or toppings to make it your own.
