Soccer Team Snack Cups (Printable Version)

Fresh fruit, granola, and creamy yogurt layered in easy-to-serve snack cups.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
02 - 1 cup blueberries
03 - 1 cup green grapes, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple, diced

→ Dairy

05 - 3 cups vanilla Greek yogurt

→ Grains

06 - 2 cups granola

→ Optional Toppings

07 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
08 - 2 tablespoons shredded coconut

# How-To Steps:

01 - Wash, dry, and cut all fruit as needed. Hull strawberries and dice them into uniform pieces. Halve the green grapes and dice the pineapple into similar-sized chunks.
02 - Arrange 12 small clear cups on a serving tray in organized rows.
03 - Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt to the bottom of each cup, spreading it evenly.
04 - Distribute a mixed combination of diced fruit evenly among the cups, using approximately 3 tablespoons per cup.
05 - Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of granola over the fruit layer in each cup, distributing evenly.
06 - Add additional fruit or yogurt to each cup as desired to reach the desired fullness level.
07 - Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and shredded coconut over the granola layer in each cup.
08 - Place a soccer-themed topper or sticker on each cup for visual appeal and team spirit.
09 - Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. If refrigerating, add granola just before serving to maintain crispness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can make twelve of them at once and actually feel like you've accomplished something without spending your whole afternoon in the kitchen.
  • The layers look impressive in clear cups but require zero fancy technique, which means even the kids can help without creating a mess.
  • They keep everyone on the team hydrated and energized without any of the guilt that usually comes with sports snacks.
02 -
  • If you assemble these more than an hour before serving, the granola will start to soften and lose its crunch—I learned this the hard way when I prepped cups the night before a tournament.
  • The magic happens when people actually open the cup and see those layers, so clear cups are worth the tiny extra effort instead of using whatever's in your cabinet.
03 -
  • Freeze your cups in the freezer for ten minutes before adding the yogurt if you want everything to stay super cold and fresh, especially if you're traveling to a game on a hot day.
  • Buy your granola from somewhere you can taste it first—this snack lives or dies by whether you actually like what you're putting in it.
