Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 5% for creaminess; use skyr or high-protein yogurt if preferred)
  • 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons granola or toasted nuts/seeds (almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (optional)
  • Small pinch of salt (to enhance flavor)
  • Optional add-ins: banana slices, shredded coconut, cacao nibs, lemon zest, nut butter drizzle

Method
 

  1. Mix the base. In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt. If the mixture gets too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or water to loosen.
  2. Sweeten lightly. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if you like a touch of sweetness. Start small—you can always drizzle more on top.
  3. Add texture. Stir in the chia seeds so they can begin to swell slightly while you prep the berries.
  4. Prep the berries. Rinse and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries for even bites.
  5. Assemble. Spoon the yogurt into a serving bowl. Top with berries, then sprinkle on granola or nuts for crunch.
  6. Finish with flavor. Dust with cinnamon, add lemon zest, or drizzle nut butter for extra richness.
  7. Serve right away. Enjoy immediately for the best texture, while the granola is still crisp.
