What to keep in mind.
7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- 2Pat berries completely dry after rinsing to prevent the yogurt from turning watery.
- 3For the crunchiest granola, add it only right before serving.
- 4For meal prep, pack granola and nuts separately and add just before eating.
- 5If your yogurt is very tart, add an extra teaspoon of honey to balance the acidity.
- 6Let the berries sit at room temperature 10 minutes before assembling to boost their sweetness.
- 7Use a wide glass or bowl so you can see the beautiful layers.

Vegan
Swap the Greek yogurt with a thick coconut or soy yogurt and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey. Plant-based and completely dairy-free.
high proteinHigh-protein
Use 0% fat Greek yogurt for lower calories and add a scoop of vanilla protein powder mixed into the yogurt for an extra 20g of protein.
low sugarLow-sugar
Skip the honey and use a sugar-free granola. The berries provide natural sweetness, and you can add a pinch of cinnamon for flavor without sugar.
low oilLow-oil
Choose a granola without added oils or make your own with oats and a small amount of nut butter. This keeps the cup lighter and lower in fat.
