Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt: Plain, unsweetened (2% or whole milk for the creamiest texture; nonfat works too).
  • Granola: Your favorite kind—look for one with oats, seeds, and minimal added sugar.
  • Fresh berries: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
  • Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pecans, or pistachios (raw or roasted, unsalted).
  • Seeds (optional): Chia, flax, or pumpkin seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional): For a touch of sweetness if your yogurt is very tangy.
  • Vanilla extract (optional): A small splash adds a subtle dessert-like flavor.
  • Cinnamon (optional): Warm spice that pairs beautifully with berries and nuts.
  • Nut butter (optional): Almond, peanut, or cashew for extra richness.
  • Lemon zest (optional): Brightens the berries and adds a fresh finish.

Method
 

  1. Prep your berries: Rinse and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries so they’re easy to scoop.
  2. Scoop the yogurt: Add 3/4 to 1 cup of Greek yogurt to a bowl. If you like it a little sweeter, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of honey or maple and a tiny splash of vanilla.
  3. Layer the crunch: Sprinkle 1/3 to 1/2 cup of granola over the yogurt. This gives structure and texture.
  4. Add nuts: Roughly chop a small handful (about 2 tablespoons). Walnuts and almonds are classics, but mix and match what you have.
  5. Top with berries: Add a generous handful. Aim for a mix of colors and flavors if possible.
  6. Finish strong: Add seeds, a pinch of cinnamon, a drizzle of nut butter, and a little honey if you want extra sweetness. A whisper of lemon zest can brighten everything.
  7. Serve immediately: Enjoy right away while the granola is still crunchy and the berries are fresh.
