Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tbsp granola (choose one with 6 g or less added sugar per serving)

Instructions
- Stir vanilla or cinnamon into the yogurt, if using.
- Spoon half the yogurt into a glass or bowl and top with half the berries.
- Add the remaining yogurt and berries.
- Sprinkle the granola on top just before eating so it stays crunchy, and drizzle with honey if you like.
Tips and swaps
- Make it ahead: layer yogurt and fruit in jars and keep the granola separate.
- More fiber: add 1 tbsp chia or ground flaxseed.
- Lower calorie: skip the honey and use 1 tbsp granola.
- Dairy-free: use a high-protein soy yogurt.
