Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

2 cups fresh bananas, sliced

2 cups fresh blueberries

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup light cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed whole grain graham crackers

1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until creamy and smooth.

    Mix the Fruits: Gently fold in the strawberries, bananas, and blueberries into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated.

      Layer the Salad: In a large serving bowl or individual dessert cups, start layering your salad. Begin with a layer of the creamy yogurt-fruit mixture.

        Add Graham Cracker Crust: Sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers over the yogurt-fruit layer for crunch.

          Repeat Layers: Continue to alternate layers of the yogurt-fruit mixture and crushed graham crackers until the bowl is filled, finishing with a layer of the yogurt mixture on top.

            Garnish: Top the final layer with dark chocolate shavings (if using) and decorate with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

              Chill: Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

                Serve: Toss gently before serving to combine layers slightly, and enjoy your Healthy Neapolitan Cake Salad!
