 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Cream

Add the avocado, Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla, and milk to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Taste and Adjust

Taste the mixture and add a little more honey if you prefer it sweeter or a little more lime juice for extra freshness.

Step 3: Prepare the Cup

Spoon a layer of the avocado yogurt mixture into the bottom of a serving cup.

Step 4: Add Granola

Sprinkle a layer of crunchy granola over the cream.

Step 5: Repeat the Layers

Continue alternating layers of avocado cream and granola until the cup is full, finishing with a thick layer of the creamy mixture on top.

Step 6: Garnish

Top with extra granola, fresh lime zest, and lime slices. Add a mint leaf if desired.

Step 7: Chill & Serve

Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before serving for the best texture, or enjoy immediately.

 Tips

•  Use perfectly ripe avocados for the smoothest texture.
•  Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
•  Add chia seeds or hemp seeds for extra nutrition.
•  Assemble just before serving to keep the granola crunchy.
•  Store the avocado cream separately for up to 2 days.
