Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Choose your vessel

    Use a wide bowl or tall glass jar. Tall jars look more impressive and keep layers distinct; wide bowls are easier to eat.

  5. 5

    Drizzle and finish

Pro Tips

🏆 Chef Tips
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt is far more satisfying than non-fat — the fat slows digestion and keeps hunger away longer.
  • Add granola right before eating if you want it crunchy — it softens within minutes in yogurt.
  • Stir a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the yogurt to boost protein from 18g to 30g+.
  • Frozen berries work when fresh aren't available — thaw slightly so they're not icy.
