Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 5-6 berries fresh berries (blueberries and raspberries) thawed if frozen
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts toasted almonds or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons granola preferably low-sugar or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional, soaked in a tiny bit of water beforehand
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest freshly grated

Equipment

  • Spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small jar or container
  • Zester or grater

Method
 

  1. Begin by placing your small jar or container on your workspace. Spoon 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom, smoothing it gently with the back of your spoon until it forms a flat, even layer.
  2. Drizzle about a teaspoon of honey over the yogurt layer. This adds a touch of sweetness and helps blend the flavors as you layer.
  3. Distribute 5-6 vibrant berries evenly over the honey-topped yogurt, pressing them slightly so they stay in place and release their juices for a burst of color and flavor.
  4. Sprinkle a tablespoon of toasted chopped nuts over the berries, adding a satisfying crunch and nutty aroma to each bite.
  5. Next, layer two tablespoons of crunchy granola over the nuts, ensuring it stays crisp and adds texture to the mixture.
  6. Sprinkle a teaspoon of soaked chia seeds over the granola for extra fiber and a gel-like texture, or skip if you prefer.
  7. Finish by spooning another 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt on top, smoothing the surface gently. Grate a small amount of fresh lemon zest over the top to add brightness and aroma.
  8. Seal the jar tightly with the lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the chia seeds to hydrate. When ready to serve, enjoy the colorful layers with a spoon, savoring the textures and fresh flavors.
