Ingredients

Scale

Dairy

  • 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (thick, creamy)

Fruits

  • 1 cup Mixed berries (fresh or thawed frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 medium Banana, sliced

Dry Toppings

  • 1 cup Granola (your favorite mix)
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia seeds

Sweeteners

  • 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (to drizzle lightly)

Instructions

  1. Spoon Yogurt: Gently spread thick Greek yogurt into your serving bowl, creating a smooth and creamy base for your crunch.
  2. Add Berries: Evenly scatter a mixture of fresh or thawed strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the yogurt layer.
  3. Layer Bananas: Fan out banana slices on top of the berries, adding a sweet and soft contrast to the tangy yogurt and tart berries.
  4. Top with Granola: Generously sprinkle your favorite granola blend over the bananas to introduce a satisfyingly crisp and crunchy texture.
  5. Drizzle Sweetener: Lightly pour honey or maple syrup over the entire assembly for an added touch of natural sweetness.
  6. Garnish with Extras: Finish by sprinkling chopped nuts and chia seeds on top, enhancing both the crunch and the visual appeal of the dish.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt to ensure a creamy texture that holds the toppings well.
  • You can customize the fruit with other seasonal berries or fruits of your choice.
  • Granola can be homemade or store-bought but opt for one without too much added sugar for a healthier option.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, enhancing the nutritional value of the dish.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • This dish is best served immediately to keep granola crunchy.
