Ingredients

2 cupsplain Greek yogurt
2 tbsphoney or maple syrup
1/2 tspvanilla extract
2 cupsfresh blueberries, divided≈ 198 median blueberries
1 cupgranola
1 tbsplemon juice
1 tbspgranulated sugar

Steps

Crush 1 cup of the blueberries with the lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes until syrupy — this is a raw quick-macerate, no cooking needed.
Stir the yogurt with honey and vanilla.
In two glasses, layer in this order: yogurt, granola, macerated berries. Repeat.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of whole fresh blueberries and serve immediately.

Notes

Assemble just before eating. Granola layered in advance turns to paste within an hour.
For a make-ahead version, layer everything except the granola and add it at the table.
