Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose between plain or vanilla based on your preference)

1 cup granola (select your favorite variety)

2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 ripe banana, sliced into rounds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (recommended if using plain yogurt)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional for a refreshing finish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if desired), and vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt). Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well blended. This step adds flavor and enhances the overall taste of your yogurt.

    Layer the Ingredients: Use pint-sized mason jars or any clear glass containers to create visually appealing layers. Start by spooning 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each jar.

      Add Granola: On top of the yogurt layer, add 2 tablespoons of granola. This will provide a delightful crunch that complements the creaminess of the yogurt.

        Introduce the Fruits: Follow the granola with a layer of 1/4 cup of mixed berries. Top this with a generous few slices of banana. Repeat this layering process—yogurt, granola, and fruits—until you fill the jar almost to the top, creating a beautiful display of colors.

          Finishing Touch: If you have leftover fruits, sprinkle them on the very top of the jar. For added sweetness, drizzle a bit more honey or maple syrup, if desired. Finally, garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a vibrant touch and an aromatic hint.

            Seal and Chill: Secure the jar lids tightly or cover the glasses with plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator to chill overnight. This marination time will meld the flavors beautifully.

              Serve: In the morning, simply grab a jar from the fridge, give it a gentle stir to combine the layers, and enjoy a deliciously nutritious breakfast that’s both convenient for on-the-go eating and packed with health benefits!
