A quick and easy Greek yogurt parfait layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola, perfect for breakfast, snack, or light dessert. This recipe is flexible, nourishing, and deliciously satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups mixed berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 2 tablespoons granola (homemade or store-bought)
  • Optional: chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • Optional: mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the yogurt base: In a medium bowl, stir 1 cup (240 ml) of Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (15-30 ml), adjusting sweetness to your taste.
  2. Prepare the berries: Rinse 1 to 1 ½ cups (150-225 g) mixed berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Layer your parfait: Start with 2 tablespoons (30 g) of granola at the bottom of a glass or jar. Add about ¼ cup (60 ml) of the yogurt mixture, followed by a handful of berries (about ¼ cup or 40 g). Repeat layers until the glass is filled, usually 3 layers total.
  4. Top it off: Finish with a sprinkle of granola, a few berries, and a drizzle of honey (optional). Add a few mint leaves for garnish if desired.
  5. Serve immediately or chill: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours if prepping ahead. Add granola just before eating to maintain crunch.

Notes

Pat berries dry to prevent soggy layers. Add granola just before serving if prepping ahead to keep it crunchy. Toast granola lightly if too hard or dry. Use a piping bag for neat yogurt layers. Vegan version: use coconut or almond yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
