Ingredients

Parfait Ingredients

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries; fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup granola
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berries: Rinse and dry fresh berries thoroughly or gently thaw frozen berries so they are no longer icy but retain firmness.
  2. Layer Yogurt: Spoon a layer of Greek yogurt evenly into the bottom of your serving glass or bowl to create the base of the parfait.
  3. Add Berries and Granola: Add a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt, followed by a sprinkle of granola for crunch and texture.
  4. Repeat Layers: Continue layering yogurt, berries, and granola until all ingredients are used, making sure the final top layer consists of berries and granola for visual appeal.
  5. Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the optional honey evenly over the top layer to add natural sweetness and a glossy finish.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately to maintain granola crunch and freshness.

Notes

  • Use flavored Greek yogurt if you prefer a sweeter parfait but reduce or omit honey accordingly.
  • Frozen berries work well if fresh are not available; just thaw slightly before layering.
  • Granola adds crunch but can be substituted with nuts or seeds for variation.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup.
  • Serve immediately to avoid the granola becoming soggy.
