Layers of creamy yogurt, banana, berries, granola, and chocolate create a light, nourishing start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 large ripe banana, sliced
02 - 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

→ Yogurt Layer

04 - 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Granola & Toppings

07 - 1/2 cup granola
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract, stirring until light and fluffy.
02 - Distribute half the banana slices evenly at the bottom of each jar or glass.
03 - Spoon approximately 1/4 cup yogurt mixture over the banana layer in each jar.

06 - Repeat the yogurt, berries, and granola layers until jars are filled, finishing with yogurt on top.
07 - Top with remaining fruit, chocolate chips, and coconut.
08 - Serve immediately for optimal granola crunch, or refrigerate up to 1 hour for a softer texture.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like a dessert you can actually eat for breakfast without feeling guilty.
  • Everything stays perfectly portable, so you can grab it on your way out the door or eat it at your desk without making a mess.
  • The texture contrast between creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and juicy berries keeps every spoonful interesting.
02 -
  • Wet your berries and then let them air dry slightly on paper towels before layering—I learned this the hard way when my first jar turned into a soupy mess by mid-morning.
  • The order matters more than you'd think: wet ingredients first, then yogurt acts as a moisture barrier, then your crunch toppings—layer randomly and everything becomes sad by snack time.
03 -
  • Pat your berries dry before layering so moisture doesn't turn your granola into paste—this single step changes everything about the eating experience.
  • Use tall, narrow jars rather than wide shallow ones because you want people to see all those beautiful layers when they pick it up, and the visual appeal is half the battle.
