Greek Yogurt Parfait (Printable)

Creamy Greek yogurt layered with fresh berries, honey, and granola for a quick, satisfying treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

→ Fruit

02 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

→ Sweeteners

03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

→ Grains

04 - 1 cup granola

→ Optional Toppings

05 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - Zest of 1 lemon

# Directions:

01 - Rinse all berries under cool water and gently pat dry with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into quarters or halves depending on size. Leave blueberries and raspberries whole.
02 - Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each of four clear parfait glasses or jars, creating an even base layer.
03 - Drizzle approximately ½ teaspoon of honey or maple syrup evenly over the yogurt layer in each glass.
04 - Distribute a handful of mixed berries atop the sweetened yogurt, ensuring an even distribution of strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries across all servings.
05 - Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of granola over the berry layer in each glass, maintaining an even thickness.
06 - Continue building parfaits by repeating the sequence: yogurt, honey, berries, and granola. Repeat until glasses are filled to within ½ inch of the rim, typically creating 2 to 3 complete layers per serving.
07 - Complete each parfait with a final sprinkle of granola, followed by chopped nuts, chia seeds, and fresh lemon zest if using. Distribute toppings evenly across all four servings.
08 - For optimal granola crunch, serve immediately. Alternatively, refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to soften granola slightly and meld flavors before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in ten minutes flat but looks like you spent twice as long
  • The texture contrast between creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and crunchy granola is addictive
  • You can prep everything the night before for effortless breakfasts all week
02 -
  • The granola gets soggy quickly, so add the final crunch layer right before serving if you are making these ahead
  • Room temperature yogurt layers faster and mixes more smoothly with honey than cold straight from the fridge
03 -
  • Buy frozen berries in winter when fresh ones are disappointing and expensive, just thaw and drain them first
  • Whisk a little vanilla extract into your yogurt before layering for extra depth
