Preparation Steps
  1. Start by adding a scoop of yogurt at the bottom of your jars.
  2. Next, layer in a mix of fresh fruit, pressing lightly to create a compact layer.
  3. Follow with a sprinkle of granola for that much-needed crunch.
  4. Repeat the layering process until you reach the top of the jar.
  5. Finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and a few mint leaves for garnish.
  6. Pop these in the fridge for a bit, then serve cool for a refreshing treat!

Notes

If there are leftovers, store in the fridge covered for up to two days. For best texture, keep granola separate until serving. Jars can be frozen if prepared ahead of time.
