Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 2 cups mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries
  • 1 cup granola store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional
  • fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Wash all berries thoroughly under cold water. Remove stems from strawberries and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Leave smaller berries whole for texture contrast. Pat dry gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • If using plain Greek yogurt, stir in vanilla extract and half of your honey or maple syrup.
  • Begin with a layer of yogurt at the bottom of your glass or jar. Aim for about 2-3 tablespoons, creating a stable foundation for your parfait.
  • Add a layer of mixed berries, focusing on color distribution for visual appeal. Then sprinkle a thin layer of granola.
  • Continue layering yogurt, berries, and small amounts of granola until you reach the top of your container. Most aesthetically pleasing parfaits have 3-4 complete layers.
  • Finish with a generous layer of granola on top for maximum crunch. Drizzle with remaining honey or maple syrup and garnish with a few whole berries or a sprig of mint. If using chia seeds, sprinkle them now for added texture.

Notes

For dairy-free options, coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt work beautifully. Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan alternative. Toasted nuts or seeds can substitute part of the granola for extra protein. Frozen berries can replace fresh when out of season (just thaw and drain excess liquid).
For meal prep, assemble parfaits without granola in mason jars for up to 2 days, adding granola just before consuming to maintain crunchiness.
