Fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)Instructions
Prepare the berries
Wash and dry the berries. Slice strawberries if using large ones.
Mix the yogurt
If using plain yogurt, stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract to lightly sweeten.
Layer the parfaits
In a glass or jar, add a spoonful of yogurt to the bottom.
Add berries and granola
Layer berries and granola on top of the yogurt.
Repeat layers
Continue layering yogurt, berries, and granola until the glass is full.
Finish and serve
Top with extra berries, granola, and a drizzle of honey. Garnish with mint if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Cooking Tips
Use thick yogurt
Greek yogurt works best because it holds the layers well and adds extra protein.
Add granola last for crunch
If making ahead, keep granola separate and add right before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
Use clear glasses
Serving parfaits in clear glasses or jars shows off the beautiful layers.
Sweeten naturally
If your berries are very sweet, you may not need any added sweetener.
Variations
Protein Berry Parfait
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the yogurt for a high-protein breakfast.
Tropical Parfait
Replace berries with mango, pineapple, and toasted coconut.
Chocolate Berry Parfait
Add mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs between layers.
Low-Sugar Version
Use unsweetened Greek yogurt and skip the honey.
Dessert Parfait
Add crushed vanilla wafers or pound cake cubes for a more dessert-like treat.
