  • Cooking Method: Layering
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Fusion (Greek-American)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (any mix of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons granola
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Take a serving glass or small bowl and add 1/3 of the yogurt mixture to the bottom.
  3. Layer with 1/3 of the mixed fresh berries, drizzling a bit of honey over them.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granola and chia seeds (if using) over the berries.
  5. Repeat the layers two more times: yogurt, berries with honey, and granola.
  6. Finish off with a final drizzle of honey on top.
  7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to one hour if you prefer it chilled.

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version. Replace honey with maple syrup if you prefer.
  • Garnishing Options: Add a mint leaf on top for a fresh burst. A light dusting of cinnamon can add a warm twist!
  • Cooking Tips: To avoid soggy granola, keep granola in a separate container and add only when ready to serve. Feel like being extra fancy? Layer in a wine glass!
