Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup until well combined. Set aside.

Add another layer of yogurt, then blueberries, more cookie crumbles, and optional granola for crunch.
Repeat the layering as needed or until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of yogurt at the top.
