¾ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)
¼ cup fresh blackberries
¼ cup fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or almonds
½ teaspoon stevia sweetener (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Smart Swap
Yogurt Warning: Flavored Greek yogurts can contain 15-20g of added sugar per serving. Always choose plain and sweeten yourself with stevia or fresh berries.
Best Berries for Diabetes: Blackberries (7g carbs/cup), raspberries (7g), strawberries (11g), blueberries (18g). Blackberries and raspberries are the best choice.
INSTRUCTIONS
Choose Your Yogurt
Use plain unsweetened Greek yogurt — NOT flavored or vanilla varieties which are loaded with added sugar. Full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt has a lower glycemic impact than non-fat versions.
Layer
In a glass or bowl, add half cup Greek yogurt. Top with a handful of fresh blackberries and raspberries. Add another layer of yogurt.
Add Crunch
Top with 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts or almonds. The healthy fat and protein from nuts further slows any glucose release from the berries.
Serve
Serve immediately. Tip: use a Miracle Berry tablet 5 minutes before eating — the tart yogurt transforms into something that tastes like cheesecake without any added sugar.

Why this Recipe Works
Plain Greek yogurt has a GI of approximately 11 — one of the lowest of any dairy or breakfast food.
18g protein per serving — more than 2 eggs, keeping you full and blood sugar stable all morning.
Probiotic cultures in Greek yogurt support gut health — linked to improved insulin sensitivity in research.
Nuts add healthy fat that further slows glucose absorption from the berries — a perfectly balanced breakfast.
