👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Spoon Greek yogurt into a bowl. Stir in vanilla extract for extra flavour.
    💡 Strain regular yogurt through a cheesecloth overnight to make your own Greek-style yogurt and save money.
  2. 2
    If using frozen berries, microwave 30 seconds to thaw slightly — they create a natural sauce as they thaw.
  3. 3
    Top yogurt with berries, drizzle honey, sprinkle chia seeds. Add granola last if using (keeps it crunchy).
  4. 4
    Serve immediately. If meal prepping, store yogurt and toppings separately and assemble at serving time.
