Ingredients

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, coconut flakes, and maple syrup. Mix well to coat and then spread the mixture on a baking sheet.

4. Slice the banana and strawberries. Prepare your glasses or bowls for layering.
5. Start by adding a layer of the matcha coconut yogurt at the bottom of each glass, followed by a layer of the toasted granola, then a layer of mixed fruits (banana, strawberries, and blueberries).
6. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.
7. Sprinkle chia seeds on the top layer for added texture and nutrition.
