Greek Yogurt Parfait Layers (Printer-friendly)

Creamy yogurt layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola for a refreshing treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# How To Make It:

01 - Wash berries thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into quarters, leaving smaller berries 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 1 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 among all four servings.
05 - Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of granola over the berry layer, maintaining consistent portions across each parfait.
06 - Repeat the layering sequence—yogurt, sweetener, berries, granola—until each glass reaches near the top, typically 2 to 3 complete layers depending on glass size.
07 - Complete each parfait with a final granola topping, followed by chopped nuts, chia seeds, and fresh lemon zest if desired for garnish.
08 - Serve immediately to enjoy maximum granola crunch, or refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes for softer textures and melded flavors.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The layers look like you tried way harder than you actually did
  • You can prep everything the night before for instant breakfast
  • It satisfies that craving for something sweet without any baking
02 -
  • The granola gets soggy after about an hour so add it right before serving
  • Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and holds up better to layering
  • Clear glasses show off the layers but honestly any vessel works just fine
03 -
  • Let your berries come to room temperature before assembling so they do not weep into the yogurt
  • Buy granola with large clusters instead of fine crumbs for better texture contrast
