Berry, Yoghurt & Crunch Snack Board (No-Cook Summer Recipe)

When Dinner Feels Optional, but Eating Still Matters 🍓

There are summer nights when you’re not exactly hungry, but you also know that skipping dinner entirely will probably come back to haunt you later.

This Berry, Yoghurt & Crunch Snack Board is for those nights.

It’s cool, light, a little sweet, and endlessly flexible — the kind of plate that feels more like grazing than a meal, but still gives your body something useful. No cooking, no timing, no pressure. Just a handful of good ingredients, arranged in a way that feels intentional.

And yes, this absolutely counts as dinner if you say it does.

½–¾ cup Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2–3 tablespoons granola, toasted nuts, or seeds
Honey or maple syrup, to drizzle

Optional extras:

Nut butter
Dark chocolate shards
Coconut flakes

How to Assemble (No Cooking Required)

Spoon yoghurt onto a plate or shallow bowl.
Arrange berries around or over the yoghurt.

How to Serve It

This board is wonderfully versatile:

Eat it as a light dinner or late snack
Serve it as breakfast on hot mornings
Turn it into a dessert plate for guests
Pair with a cup of tea or something cold to drink

It’s especially good eaten slowly, one bite at a time.

Storage Tips (Keep It Cool)

Because this is dairy-based, storage matters:

Yoghurt: Keep sealed and refrigerated
Berries: Wash just before using to avoid sogginess
Granola/nuts: Store separately to keep them crunchy
Best assembled just before eating

👉 Once assembled, this board is best enjoyed straight away.

Easy Swaps & Variations

This board is endlessly customisable:

Use plant-based yoghurt if preferred
Swap berries for stone fruit or mango
Add cottage cheese for extra protein
Use seeds only for a lighter crunch
Make it savoury with yoghurt, nuts, and olive oil

You can also turn this into a layered jar if eating on the go.

Nutrition Notes (Light, Cooling & Nourishing)

This plate is gentle but useful:

Yoghurt provides protein and gut-friendly probiotics
Berries offer fibre and antioxidants
Nuts/seeds add healthy fats and staying power
Natural sweetness keeps energy levels steady

It’s ideal for warm evenings when appetite is low.
