Layered Berry & Coconut Vegan Protein Smoothie Jar

Layered Berry & Coconut Vegan Protein Smoothie Jar Breakfast Recipe

Smoothies are great, but there's something about a layered jar that makes breakfast feel like an actual event rather than just something you drink on the way out the door. This Layered Berry & Coconut Vegan Protein Smoothie Jar builds a thick berry smoothie base, then layers it with fresh berries, granola, and plant-based yogurt into two genuinely beautiful jars that taste as good as they look.

Ingredients
  

  • For the Smoothie Base:
  • 1½ cups frozen mixed berries - strawberries blueberries, and raspberries all work well together or individually, providing the dominant flavor and that classic thick, cold smoothie texture.
  • 1 cup Silk Dairy Free Plain Yogurt - Silk's dairy-free yogurt is genuinely plant-based made from a soy or almond base depending on the variety, and works well here for both texture and a meaningful protein contribution.
  • ¾ cup Silk Plant Protein Milk - a protein-fortified plant milk that pushes this jar's overall protein count significantly higher than a standard almond or oat milk would.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - rounds out the berry flavor with warmth.
  • For the Snack Jar Layers:
  • 1 cup mixed berries - fresh not frozen, for the layered portion. The contrast between the smooth blended base and these whole, fresh berries is part of what makes the jar format work.
  • ½ cup Simple Truth Granola - or any granola you genuinely enjoy; just double-check the label since some granolas contain honey, which isn't vegan.
  • 1 cup Silk Dairy Free Plain Yogurt - the same yogurt used in the smoothie base layered separately for textural contrast.
  • Recommended Addition for the Coconut:
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut added to the granola layer, and/or a drizzle of coconut milk over the top before serving.

Equipment

  • A short, accessible list:
  • Blender - for pureeing the frozen berries, yogurt, plant protein milk, and vanilla into a smooth, thick smoothie base.
  • Two mason jars or similar containers with lids - wide-mouth jars make layering and eating significantly easier than narrow ones.
  • Measuring cups and spoons - for the berries, yogurt, granola, and vanilla.
  • Spoon, for layering and serving.

Method
 

  1. Step 1 - Blend the Smoothie
  2. Place the frozen mixed berries, Silk Dairy Free Plain Yogurt, Silk Plant Protein Milk, and vanilla extract in your blender. Puree until completely smooth.
  3. Step 2 - Layer the Fresh Berries
  4. Divide the fresh mixed berries evenly between your two jars, placing them at the bottom as the first layer.
  5. Step 3 - Add Granola and Yogurt
  6. Top each jar with half the granola (and your shredded coconut, if adding it for that title-promised coconut flavor), followed by half the remaining yogurt layered on top of the granola.
  7. Step 4 - Pour the Smoothie
  8. Pour half of the blended smoothie into each jar, on top of the granola and yogurt layers.
  9. Step 5 - Serve or Chill
  10. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours if you're prepping ahead of when you'll actually eat it.
