Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt: Plain, unsweetened. Choose 2% or whole milk for creaminess, or nonfat for a lighter bowl.
  • Fresh berries: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Use a mix for flavor and color.
  • Granola or toasted oats: Pick a low-sugar option or make your own.
  • Nuts or seeds: Almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, hemp hearts, or pumpkin seeds.
  • Sweetener (optional): Honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of vanilla extract.
  • Spices and extras (optional): Cinnamon, lemon zest, cocoa nibs, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of nut butter.
  • Frozen berries (optional): A great backup when fresh berries aren’t available.

Method
 

  1. Prep the berries: Rinse and pat dry. Slice strawberries or larger berries so they’re bite-sized. If using frozen berries, thaw slightly or warm briefly to soften.
  2. Build the base: Spoon Greek yogurt into a bowl—about 3/4 to 1 cup per serving. Stir in a tiny pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla for extra flavor.
  3. Add sweetness (if you want it): Drizzle 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt. You can also skip sweetener if berries are very ripe.
  4. Layer the berries: Scatter a generous handful over the yogurt so each spoonful gets fruit. Mix varieties for color and flavor contrast.
  5. Bring the crunch: Add granola or toasted oats, plus a spoonful of nuts or seeds. Aim for about 2–3 tablespoons total to keep it balanced.
  6. Finish with extras: Sprinkle cinnamon, lemon zest, or cocoa nibs. A small drizzle of almond or peanut butter adds richness and staying power.
  7. Serve right away: Enjoy immediately for the best texture, especially if you’ve added granola.
