Ingredients:

1/2 to 1 cup (120-240 ml) plain Greek yogurt
1/4 to 1/2 cup (40-80 g) fresh or frozen berries
1/4 to 2 1/2 tablespoons (15-40 g) granola
1/2 to 1 teaspoon (2.5-5 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)

Vegan? Swap in coconut or almond yogurt. Watching sugar? Try monk fruit sweetener.

Method:

Grab your container of choice. I’m partial to mason jars – they make me feel like I’ve got my life together.
Dollop half the yogurt into the bottom. Smooth it out like you’re icing a tiny cake.
Sprinkle half your berries over the yogurt. Don’t be shy – more berries = more fun.
Add half the granola. This is where the crunch comes in, folks!
Repeat layers: yogurt, berries, granola. It’s like a delicious game of Jenga.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if you’re feeling fancy.
Marvel at your creation. Instagram-worthy? You bet!

Crucial Tips:

Keep granola separate if prepping ahead. Nobody likes soggy granola. Nobody.
Frozen berries work great, but let them thaw a bit. Unless you fancy a yogurt popsicle.
Don’t go overboard with sweeteners. The fruit adds natural sweetness.

Storage Instructions:

Pop it in the fridge if you’re not devouring it immediately. It’ll keep for up to 24 hours, but let’s be real – who has that kind of willpower?

Scaling Tips:

Feeding a crowd? Just multiply ingredients. It’s not rocket science, I promise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Using watery yogurt. Stick to thick Greek yogurt for best results.
Overloading on toppings. Balance is key, my friends.

Variations:

Oh boy, where do I start? Try different fruits, add a dollop of nut butter, sprinkle in some chia seeds. The world is your yogurt parfait!
