Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt thick and tangy
  • 1 teaspoon honey floral sweetness
  • 1/4 cup mixed berries fresh or thawed frozen
  • 2 tablespoons nuts toasted almonds or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons granola for crunch
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest brightens flavor

Equipment

  • Small jar with lid
  • Mixing spoon
  • Microplane
  • Knife
  • Dry skillet

Method
 

  1. Measure out the Greek yogurt and spoon half into your small jar, smoothing it into an even layer with the back of your spoon.
  2. Chop your nuts if they aren’t pre-cut, and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes until fragrant and golden, then let them cool slightly.
  3. Sprinkle half of the chopped berries and toasted nuts over the yogurt layer, creating a colorful and textured topping.
  4. Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the toppings for a touch of floral sweetness, letting it shimmer slightly in the light.
  5. Repeat the layers by adding the remaining yogurt, followed by the rest of the berries and nuts, creating a visually appealing stacked effect.
  6. Use a microplane to finely zest half a lemon over the top, adding a bright, fresh aroma to the jar.
  7. Seal the jar with its lid and give it a gentle swirl or shake to distribute the flavors, being careful to keep the layers intact.
  8. Let the jar sit for about 5 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate if preparing ahead, allowing flavors to meld and textures to soften slightly.
  9. Open the jar, insert a spoon, and enjoy the layered combination of creamy yogurt, juicy berries, crunchy nuts, and sweet honey with a burst of citrus aroma.
