Start by preparing the raspberry sauce: mash 1.5 cups of fresh raspberries with 1/4 cup of sugar using a fork or spatula until juices are released.

Reserve some raspberries for topping later.

In a bowl, add 2 cups of blueberries.

Dice 2 nectarines and 1/3 of a pineapple into similar sized pieces.

To dice the pineapple, cut away the outer edge and remove the core, then slice into strips and dice.

Toss the diced fruit together in a bowl.

Garnish the fruit cups with fresh mint leaves (optional).

Use plain Greek yogurt (2% fat) for layering.

Use honey nut granola or any type you prefer for crunch.

In small glasses, layer a generous amount of Greek yogurt at the bottom.

Add a few tablespoons of raspberry sauce on top of the yogurt.

Spoon in the mixed fruit on top of the raspberry sauce.

Add about 2 spoonfuls of granola in an even layer on top of the fruit.

Repeat the layering process: add another layer of Greek yogurt, followed by raspberry sauce, and then the final sprinkle of granola.

Top with mint leaves for garnish.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
