Ingredients
  

2 cups plain yogurt (choose Greek for creaminess or a non-dairy option for a vegan treat)

1/4 cup honey (substitute with maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup granola (select your favorite brand or homemade)

1/2 cup mixed berries (can be fresh or frozen)

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if preferred.

    Incorporate Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly dispersed throughout the yogurt mixture. Allow the mixture to rest for approximately 10 minutes. This will enable the chia seeds to soak up some moisture and swell, giving the mixture a thicker consistency.

      Add Granola and Berries: Gently fold in the granola and mixed berries, ensuring the pieces are well coated with the yogurt mixture. Take care not to crush the berries if using fresh ones, as you want to maintain their integrity.

        Shape the Clusters: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and drop them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming clusters roughly the size of a golf ball. Be sure to leave space between each cluster to allow for slight expansion during freezing.

          Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the clusters freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm and solid throughout.

            Store and Enjoy: Once the clusters are fully frozen, carefully transfer them to an airtight container for storage. Keep the clusters in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy them. These delightful bites can be savored as a snack, dessert, or energizing breakfast!

              Serving Suggestions: Serve the clusters straight from the freezer, enjoying the delightful contrast of the creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and juicy berries.
