Notes
Meal prep tip: Store granola separately in a small bag or container and add it right before eating to keep it crunchy. The yogurt and berry layers keep well in a sealed jar for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To boost protein past 35g, stir one scoop of vanilla protein powder into the yogurt before layering.
