Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or your favorite flavored variety)

1 cup granola (select a blend you love)

2 cups mixed fruits (choose from strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or any seasonal fruits you prefer)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for an extra touch of sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)

A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional for a warm note)

Jars or airtight containers for easy serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup, if desired. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Chop the Fruits: Rinse your selected mixed fruits thoroughly. Chop them into bite-sized pieces, taking care to slice bananas just before assembly to prevent browning.

      Layer the Ingredients: Begin assembling your breakfast jars by adding a generous spoonful of the yogurt mixture to the bottom. Follow with a layer of the chopped fruits, and then sprinkle a layer of granola on top.

        Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients, aiming for a total of at least two to three layers of yogurt, fruits, and granola. For a striking presentation, finish with a final layer of mixed fruits on top.

          Add a Final Touch: For additional flavor, sprinkle cinnamon over the top layer of fruit. If you have a sweet tooth, drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup over the fruit as well.

            Seal and Refrigerate: Tightly seal the jars with their lids or cover with plastic wrap. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. These jars can be prepped the night before for a convenient breakfast option on busy mornings!

              Serve: In the morning, grab your prepared jar and enjoy a nutritious and delicious breakfast, whether at home or on your way to work or school.
