- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1 cup granola
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the fruit by slicing strawberries and rinsing all mixed berries; drain well.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth and adjust sweetness to taste.
- In clear glasses or dessert cups, spoon a layer of the yogurt mixture into the bottom (about 1/4 full).
- Add a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons per glass) over the yogurt for crunch.
- Add a layer of mixed berries (about 1/4 cup per glass) over the granola.
- Repeat the layers until the glass is full, finishing with a final layer of yogurt.
- Top with a sprinkle of extra granola, a few berries, and a mint leaf for garnish.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Notes
- For the best texture, serve immediately to keep the granola crunchy.
- If meal prepping, store the granola separately and add just before eating.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly version.
- Use seasonal fruits like peaches or mangoes for a tropical twist.
