Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk for creaminess; nonfat works too)
  • 3/4–1 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1–2 tablespoons granola or toasted oats (for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (for fiber and omega-3s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for a dessert-like flavor)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
  • Small pinch of sea salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the berries. Rinse fresh blueberries and pat them dry. If using frozen, let them thaw for a few minutes or microwave briefly until just soft.
  2. Flavor the yogurt. In a bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with vanilla and a small pinch of salt. This tiny bit of salt enhances the sweetness without extra sugar.
  3. Sweeten lightly. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup, starting with 1 teaspoon. Taste and add more if needed. Keep it light—blueberries bring sweetness too.
  4. Layer the blueberries. Spoon half the yogurt into a bowl, add half the blueberries, then repeat with the remaining yogurt and berries for better distribution.
  5. Add crunch and seeds. Sprinkle granola or toasted oats on top. Add chopped nuts and chia or flax for extra texture and nutrition.
  6. Finish with spice or zest. Dust with cinnamon or grate a little lemon zest over the top. Both pair beautifully with blueberries.
  7. Serve immediately. Enjoy right away for the best crunch and flavor. If packing to go, keep the crunchy toppings separate until serving.
