Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the quark, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Whisk until completely smooth and well combined.
If using frozen berries, gently thaw them or warm slightly in a microwave for 30 seconds. If using fresh, wash and pat dry.
In two serving glasses or small bowls, create layers: start with a spoonful of protein granola at the bottom.
Add a layer of the lemon quark mixture over the granola.
Top with a generous layer of mixed berries.
Repeat the layers: another spoonful of granola, then quark, and finally more berries.
Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
💡 Pro Tip
For an extra protein boost, you can mix 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder into the quark mixture. Adjust sweetener to taste. Try different berry combinations or add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for healthy fats.
