TIPS
- Choose Thick Yoghurt: Greek yoghurt provides a creamy and rich texture, but you can use a lower-fat option if desired.
- Enhance The Sweetness: Adjust the honey based on your sweetness preference or swap it for maple syrup.
- Make It Crunchier: Toast the granola lightly for an even crunchier texture.
- Balance The Flavours: A mix of sweet and tart berries creates a more dynamic taste profile.
- Prepare In Advance: Layer the ingredients in a jar for a convenient meal-prep option.
VARIATIONS
- Nutty Boost: Add chopped almonds, walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch and protein.
- Vegan Alternative: Use plant-based yoghurt and agave syrup instead of honey.
- Chocolate Delight: Sprinkle some cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavour.
- Tropical Twist: Substitute berries with diced mango or pineapple for a tropical flair.
- Protein Power: Stir in a teaspoon of protein powder into the yoghurt for an added boost.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Meal Prep: Prepare multiple servings in individual jars for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
- Avoid Sogginess: If storing, add granola just before serving to maintain its crunch.
