Instructions
Healthy Greek Yogurt Recipe
Step 1: Choose Your Yogurt Wisely
Select plain Greek yogurt for the best protein-to-sugar ratio. For creaminess, go with whole milk Greek yogurt; for lower calories, non-fat versions work well.
Tip: Avoid flavored yogurts—they often contain added sugars and artificial ingredients.
Step 2: Layer It Up
In a glass or jar, add half the yogurt, followed by a layer of berries and a spoonful of granola.
Trick: Use a clear glass for visual appeal—it’s like food art you’ll actually want to eat.
Step 3: Add Nutritional Power-Ups
Top with chia seeds or flaxseed, a drizzle of honey if desired, and repeat the layers.
Personal Tip: I love adding a dash of cinnamon for an anti-inflammatory kick.
Step 4: Finish and Chill (Optional)
Eat it fresh or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Great for overnight prep!
Hack: Use mason jars with lids for a grab-and-go breakfast that stays fresh.
Notes
Healthy Greek Yogurt Recipe
- For meal prep, keep granola separate until serving to avoid sogginess.
- Frozen berries work well too—just thaw slightly before layering.
- Adjust sweetness by skipping honey or using mashed banana instead.
- Want it even more filling? Add a scoop of protein powder or a side of boiled eggs.
- Perfect for busy mornings, brunch spreads, or even a light dinner.
