👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Base

Scoop 1 cup of Greek yogurt into your favorite bowl. Use nonfat if you’re counting calories or 2% for extra creaminess.

Step 2: Add Your Blueberries

Top with fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, let them thaw for 1–2 minutes — they’ll create a gorgeous purple swirl when mixed.

Step 3: Add Crunch

Sprinkle your granola or oats for texture. This helps you stay full longer thanks to the fiber.

Step 4: Sweeten Lightly

Drizzle a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter. (Or skip it if you’re going low-sugar.)

Step 5: Power Boost

Add chia seeds, nuts, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir gently, take a photo for your food diary (or TikTok 😉), and enjoy!
