Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)

Fruit

  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries; fresh or frozen)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds)

Optional

  • Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash fresh berries thoroughly and chop larger fruits like strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Gather your Greek yogurt, granola, nuts, and sweeteners if using.
  2. Start With a Yogurt Layer: Spoon a generous amount of Greek yogurt into a serving glass or bowl, spreading it evenly to form the first creamy base layer.
  3. Add a Layer of Berries: Place a variety of mixed berries on top of the yogurt layer, allowing their natural juices to add flavor and freshness.
  4. Sprinkle Granola and Nuts: Add a layer of crunchy granola and chopped nuts over the berries for texture and flavor contrast.
  5. Repeat Layers and Finish: Repeat the layering process one or two more times until the container is filled, finishing with a topping of berries and an optional drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Use cold yogurt and berries for the best refreshing taste and texture.
  • Alternate creamy and crunchy layers thoughtfully to keep each bite interesting.
  • Fresh berries provide the brightest flavor, but frozen berries work well if fresh are unavailable.
  • Be cautious with added sweeteners; let the natural fruit sweetness shine.
  • Parfaits can be assembled the night before; add granola just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
