Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full-fat for creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or your choice
  • 2 tablespoons nuts toasted almonds or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons granola or crushed cookies for crunch
  • Zest of 1 lemon or orange citrus zest optional, for brightness
  • Pinch cinnamon or spice optional, for warmth

Equipment

  • Small jar with lid
  • Spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Dry skillet

Method
 

  1. Combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup in a small mixing bowl, stirring until smooth and slightly glossy.
  2. Slice your fresh berries into small pieces, making them easy to layer and eat.
  3. Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes until fragrant, then let them cool slightly.
  4. Start layering your jar by adding a few spoonfuls of the sweetened yogurt at the bottom.
  5. Add a layer of sliced berries over the yogurt, spreading them evenly.
  6. Repeat the layers of yogurt and berries until the jar is nearly full, creating distinct, colorful strata.
  7. Sprinkle the toasted nuts and granola on top for crunch, then add a touch of citrus zest and a pinch of spice if desired.
  8. Seal the jar tightly with the lid and gently shake or tap to settle the layers and distribute flavors evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the snack to chill.
  10. Before serving, give the jar a gentle stir if you prefer a mixed flavor, or enjoy as layered for visual appeal.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, and spices. Add crunch right before eating to keep toppings crisp.
