Instructions
Spoon half the yogurt (about 1/2 cup) into a clear glass or wide bowl, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Equipment: clear glass or bowlSprinkle half the granola (about 2 tablespoons) over the yogurt in an even layer.
Tip: Press gently to hear a light crunch—that's how you know the granola is freshArrange half the blueberries and sliced strawberries on top, distributing them evenly.
Repeat the layers with the remaining yogurt, granola, and berries, finishing with berries on top.
Drizzle the maple syrup or honey over the top layer, letting it cascade down the sides if using a glass.
Scatter the sliced almonds over the top if using.
Serve immediately while the granola is still crunchy.
Tip: Granola absorbs moisture quickly—serve within 5 minutes of assembly for best texture
Notes
Storage
Best eaten immediately for optimal granola crunch. If making ahead, layer the yogurt and berries in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours—add granola only when ready to eat to prevent sogginess.
SCD modifications
Standard oat-based granola and maple syrup are both SCD-illegal. To make this SCD-compliant: use 24-hour fermented homemade yogurt, substitute a nut-based granola (almonds, pecans, honey, coconut flakes), and swap maple syrup for pure honey.
Dairy-free option
Substitute coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt for a dairy-free version. Note that protein content drops significantly (from 20g to about 2-4g). Consider adding a scoop of collagen peptides to boost protein.
Berry portions
This recipe uses 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/4 cup strawberries, both within Monash University's green-light servings. Larger portions may trigger symptoms in FODMAP-sensitive individuals.
Protein comparison
Greek yogurt contains roughly double the protein of regular yogurt due to the straining process that removes whey. Choose full-fat versions if you need extra calories during recovery.
