Print Recipe
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt plain or vanilla; full-fat or 2% for creaminess
  • Fresh strawberries ripe, hulled, and sliced
  • Granola your favorite kind; low-sugar if you prefer
  • Honey or maple syrup optional, to sweeten
  • Vanilla extract a small splash makes a big difference
  • Lemon zest optional, for brightness
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds optional, for extra fiber and omega-3s
  • Almonds or chopped nuts optional, for added crunch
  • Fresh mint optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Rinse, hull, and slice the strawberries. If they're not very sweet, toss them with a teaspoon of honey and a squeeze of lemon and let them sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Stir the yogurt with a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup and a splash of vanilla. Add a little lemon zest if you like a brighter flavor.
  3. Use a clear glass, jar, or bowl so you can see the layers. This also helps you gauge portions.
  4. Spoon a few tablespoons of yogurt into the bottom to create a stable base.
  5. Scatter a layer of sliced strawberries over the yogurt. If you're using chia or flaxseeds, sprinkle a pinch here.
  6. Add a thin layer of granola for crunch. Don't overpack it in the middle layers to avoid getting soggy.
  7. Continue with yogurt, then strawberries, then granola until you reach the top. Aim for 2–3 sets of layers for the best texture.
  8. Finish with a final spoon of yogurt, a handful of strawberries, a small sprinkle of granola, and chopped nuts if using. Add a mint leaf for a fresh look.
  9. Drizzle with a little honey if you want more sweetness. Serve right away for the best crunch.
