How To Make Yogurt Pot With Blueberries

Step 1 – Layer the Granola and Raisins

Place the granola into the base of the jar. Sprinkle in the raisins and gently mix to spread them evenly.

Step 2 – Add the Yogurt Layer

Heap two tablespoons of blueberry yogurt over the granola. Spread gently to cover the granola completely.

Step 3 – Top With Fresh Blueberries

Scatter the fresh blueberries on top of the yogurt. You can alternate layers if making multiple pots.

Step 4 – Drizzle Honey

Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the top for natural sweetness.

Step 5 – Seal & Refrigerate

Seal the jar with a lid and store in the fridge overnight. The granola will remain crunchy and the flavors will meld beautifully.

Tips for Perfect Yogurt Pots

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and higher protein content.
• If you want a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
• Mix in a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to elevate the flavour.
• Add fresh banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
• Layering granola at the bottom prevents sogginess from the yogurt.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
• Perfect alongside boiled eggs for a high-protein meal.
• Use as a snack for work or school lunchboxes.
• Pair with herbal tea or coffee for a light brunch option.

Can I make these yogurt pots ahead of time?

Can I substitute the yogurt?
