Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

3 tablespoons chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (your choice of fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for optional garnish)

Instructions
 

Combine Yogurt and Chia: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Allow this mixture to rest for about 15-20 minutes; this waiting period will enable the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid, resulting in a thicker consistency.

    Prepare the Berries: If you’re using fresh berries, rinse them gently under cool water and slice them as needed. For frozen berries, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly thaw for easier mixing.

      Layer the Cups: Once the yogurt-chia mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, it’s time to assemble the cups. Start by placing a layer of the yogurt-chia mixture at the bottom of each cup. Next, add a layer of mixed berries, followed by another layer of the yogurt mixture. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of each cup, finishing with the yogurt mixture.

        Top with Granola: Sprinkle a generous amount of granola on top of each cup. This will not only add a delightful crunch but also an appealing texture contrast to the creamy layers.

          Garnish and Chill: For an added touch, you can garnish each cup with a fresh mint leaf, which will provide a beautiful pop of color and a refreshing aroma. Place the cups in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time helps meld the flavors beautifully.

            Serve: Your Berry Bliss Chia Yogurt Cups are ready to enjoy! Once they are chilled, serve immediately, or cover them and store in the fridge for up to two days for a quick snack or breakfast option.
