Equipment

2 small glass jars with lids big enough to hold 1.5 cups each

Ingredients

1 cup part skim ricotta
1 cup plain non-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon honey to sweeten, as desired
½ cup raspberries mashed
½ cup whole raspberries
½ cup granola
1 teaspoon crushed freeze dried raspberries or strawberries
mint to garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta and yogurt with the honey.
In a separate small bowl mash the raspberries with a fork to create a jam-like consistency.
*See notes below first if meal prepping.
Add the ricotta yogurt mixture half-way up the jar, then layer with the smashed raspberries and granola. Top with more of the ricotta yogurt mix. Add the fresh berries, and sprinkle on extra granola and freeze-dried berries.
Repeat with the remaining jar. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes

A note if meal prepping: add the granola right before consuming to avoid it getting soggy. This would mean just adding a layer of the smashed raspberries to the jar and leaving room at the top for adding the granola later on.

I prefer to focus on quality ingredients from a variety of sources that work in tandem to promote optimal health. Nutrition calculations may not reflect these valuable interactions. However, I understand certain values can be helpful to some. Please note these calculations are merely estimates. Values will vary depending on modifications, brands used, and portion size. Should you require specific information, it's best to consult with a dietitian or qualified healthcare provider.
