A quick and easy parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy granola for a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 cup (100 g) granola (with nuts and seeds preferred)
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (10 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse fresh berries gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into bite-sized pieces if using.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using. Whip lightly with a fork for a smoother texture.
  3. Start with a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom of your glass or bowl. Add a layer of mixed berries, then a layer of granola. Repeat layers until container is filled, finishing with granola on top.
  4. Optionally, sprinkle chia seeds over the top and add fresh mint leaves for garnish.
  5. Serve immediately to keep granola crunchy. If preparing ahead, keep granola separate and add just before serving.

Notes

Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained. Customize with nut butters, seasonal fruits, or spices like cinnamon for variety.
