Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 2 cups plain or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

- Add toppings: Sprinkle granola or any other toppings you like (such as nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes) evenly over the yogurt.
