Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

A sprinkle of granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well to avoid clumping. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes, or until the chia seeds absorb the liquid and form a gel-like consistency.

    Flavor the Yogurt: In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth. If you prefer a sweeter touch, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.

      Combine Mixtures: Once the chia seed mixture is ready, fold it into the yogurt mixture. Stir until beautifully blended, ensuring an even distribution of the chia seeds throughout the yogurt.

        Prepare the Berries: If using fresh berries, wash and slice them as needed. For frozen berries, allow them to thaw slightly so they are easier to layer.

          Layer the Cups: In serving cups or small jars, start with a layer of the yogurt-chia mixture at the bottom. Follow with a layer of mixed berries. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of berries on top.

            Add a Splash of Flavor: Drizzle a little lemon juice over the top layer of berries for an extra zing of flavor.

              Top it Off: Sprinkle granola over the final layer for crunch and texture. If desired, add a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

                Chill and Serve: Cover the cups with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy your Sweet Berries Chia Yogurt Cups!
