Greek Yogurt Berry Parfaits

Level: Easy - Serves 2

These Greek yogurt berry parfaits are a quick, balanced option for breakfast, snacks, or lighter desserts. Made with fresh berries, granola, and protein-rich yogurt, they combine texture, natural sweetness, and simple ingredients into an easy recipe that can be prepared in just a few minutes.

Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or similar)

1/2 cup granola

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Optional additions: nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or nut butter drizzle

Method:

• STEP 1: If desired, mix honey or maple syrup into the Greek yogurt until lightly sweetened.
• STEP 2: Wash and dry the berries. Slice the strawberries if using larger pieces.
• STEP 3: In serving glasses or bowls, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt as the first layer.
• STEP 4: Add a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt, followed by a layer of granola.
• STEP 5: Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with berries and granola on top.
• STEP 6: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Recipe Tip
You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, but assembling the parfaits just before serving helps keep the granola crunchy and the fruit fresh. For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
