Notes
Ingredient Choices: I prefer using plain Greek yogurt to control the sweetness, but I have found that a thick coconut yogurt is a fantastic dairy free alternative that still feels incredibly creamy.
Texture Secret: I always wait to add the granola until the very last second because I cannot stand when it gets soggy after sitting in the yogurt for too long.
Meal Prep Advice: When I make these for the week, I use small mason jars and leave a little space at the top so I can give everything a quick stir right before I eat.
Natural Sweetness: I suggest tasting your fruit first, since a very ripe mango or sweet berries might mean you only need a tiny drizzle of honey to hit that perfect balance.
Boost Your Toppings: I love toasted walnuts for a deeper flavor, but if you are out of nuts, a spoonful of sunflower seeds provides that same satisfying crunch I look for.
Mixing Tip: I sometimes whisk the chia seeds directly into the yogurt and let it sit for five minutes before layering, which gives the yogurt a thicker, more pudding like consistency that I adore.
