Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt preferably thick and tangy
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup nuts almonds or walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup granola preferably toasted
  • 1/2 cup berries or fruit fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest for brightness
  • optional coconut flakes for extra texture and tropical flavor

Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • spoon
  • Frying pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Combine the Greek yogurt and honey in a small mixing bowl, stirring until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  2. Chop the nuts into small pieces and toast them in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the granola to the same pan and toast for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and aromatic, then transfer to a plate to cool.
  4. If using frozen berries, thaw them and drain any excess moisture; if fresh, simply wash and prepare for topping.
  5. Spoon the creamy yogurt mixture into serving bowls, spreading evenly with the back of the spoon.
  6. Sprinkle the toasted nuts and granola generously over the yogurt, creating a layered, textured look.
  7. Garnish with fresh berries or sliced fruit, and sprinkle with lemon zest for a bright citrus note.
  8. If desired, sprinkle coconut flakes over the top for added tropical flavor and chewy texture.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy yogurt and crisp toppings, or keep toppings separate if preparing in advance.
