Creamy layered parfait with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, honey, and granola. Perfect quick breakfast or light dessert.

# What You Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

→ Fruit

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

→ Sweeteners

03 - 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

→ Grains

05 - 2 tbsp chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
06 - 1 tbsp chia seeds

# Steps:

01 - Wash berries thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into quarters, leaving smaller berries whole.
02 - Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of four clear parfait glasses or jars, spreading evenly.
03 - Drizzle approximately ½ teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer in each glass.
04 - Distribute mixed berries evenly across each glass, pressing gently into the yogurt layer.
05 - Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of granola over the berry layer in each glass.
06 - Repeat the layering process—yogurt, sweetener, berries, granola—until glasses are filled to within ½ inch of the rim.
07 - Top each parfait with remaining granola, chopped nuts, chia seeds, and fresh lemon zest if desired.
08 - Serve immediately for optimal crunch, or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes for softer textures.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes ten minutes from start to finish, which means breakfast or dessert practically makes itself
  • The layered presentation looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did
  • You can swap ingredients based on whatever fruit looks best at the market
02 -
  • Clear glasses show off the layers, but mason jars work just as well and are easier for packing ahead
  • The granola gets soggy if these sit too long, so add the final crunch right before serving if meal prepping
03 -
  • Room temperature yogurt layers faster and spreads more smoothly than cold yogurt straight from the fridge
  • Invest in clear glass serving pieces even if they are basic, the presentation makes people think you tried harder
