# What You Need:
→ Dairy

02 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
→ Sweeteners
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# How To Cook:

02 - Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each of four clear glasses or jars.
03 - Drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer.
04 - Place a handful of mixed berries on top of the sweetened yogurt in each glass.
05 - Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of granola over the berries in each glass.
06 - Repeat the layering process—yogurt, sweetener, berries, granola—until glasses are filled to the top.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under ten minutes but looks like you put real thought into presentation
- The contrast between cold creamy yogurt, sweet fruit, and crunchy granola hits every single texture craving
02 -
- Glass containers are essential here because half the joy is seeing those colorful layers from the outside
- The granola gets soggy pretty quickly so if you're meal-prepping these, keep the crunch separate and add it right before eating
03 -
- Room temperature yogurt layers better than cold straight from the fridge
- Angle your glass slightly when adding granola so it doesn't all fall to the center
