A quick, nutritious, and delicious parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, mixed berries, and crunchy granola, perfect for busy mornings or a wholesome snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (150 grams) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries), fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup (50 grams) crunchy granola with nuts and seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp (15–30 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tbsp (10 grams) chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Berries (5 minutes): Rinse fresh berries gently and pat dry. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly to avoid watering down the parfait. Toss berries with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness.
  2. Flavor the Yogurt (Optional, 2 minutes): In a bowl, stir vanilla extract into the Greek yogurt for a subtle fragrant note. You can also mix in chia seeds here if you’re using them for that extra nutrition boost.
  3. Layer the Parfait (5 minutes): Start with a generous spoonful of yogurt at the bottom of your glass or jar. Add a layer of mixed berries, then a sprinkle of granola. Repeat layers until your container is full, ending with granola on top for that satisfying crunch.
  4. Final Touch (Optional): Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup on top if you like it sweeter. Add a few fresh mint leaves or a dusting of cinnamon for a little flair.
  5. Serve Immediately or Chill: The parfait is best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch, but you can cover and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours if needed.

Notes

Use thick, strained Greek yogurt to avoid watery parfait. Add granola just before eating to keep it crunchy. Frozen berries should be thawed and drained to prevent sogginess. Vanilla extract enhances flavor but is optional. Store granola separately if preparing the night before.
