16 ounces plain 2% Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 12 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped
1 pint fresh blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries (or a combination)
Granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup granola
8 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Mix together the yogurt and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
