Gather your small mixing bowl, spoon, measuring cup, and your serving bowl, ready to assemble.
Scoop the Greek yogurt into the bowl and add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Stir thoroughly with the spoon until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps of powder remaining.
Gently fold in the fresh berries, distributing them evenly throughout the yogurt mixture. The berries should add a burst of color and juiciness with each fold.
If desired, drizzle in honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness, and stir lightly to combine. Taste and add more sweetener if needed.
Transfer the mixture into your serving bowl, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon for a clean presentation.
Sprinkle the nuts or seeds over the top for crunch, and add your optional toppings like coconut flakes or cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
Finish with a small drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture or refrigerate briefly if you prefer it chilled.
