Ingredients
    For the Yogurt Layer
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
    • For the Fruit Layer
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 1 cup blueberries (washed and dried)
  • 0.5 cup raspberries or blackberries (optional)
    • For the Crunch Layer
  • 1 cup granola (plain or lightly sweetened)
  • Optional Garnishes
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Extra honey drizzle
  • Chopped nuts (almonds or pistachios, optional)
Instructions
    Prepare the Yogurt Base
  1. 1
    In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and evenly combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
    2. Prepare the Berries
  2. 2
    Wash all berries thoroughly under cold water. Slice the strawberries into thin pieces and gently pat all berries dry to prevent excess moisture in the parfait.
    3. Start Layering the Parfaits
  3. 3
    Take clear serving glasses or jars. Add 2–3 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to the bottom of each glass, spreading it evenly.
    4. Add Fruit and Granola
  4. 4
    Layer a small handful of mixed berries over the yogurt, followed by 1–2 tablespoons of granola. Press lightly to create a neat layer.
    5. Repeat the Layers
  5. 5
    Repeat the yogurt, berry, and granola layers until the glass is filled, finishing with berries on top for a fresh, colorful look.
    6. Garnish and Serve
  6. 6
    Top with mint leaves, an extra drizzle of honey, or chopped nuts if desired. Serve immediately or chill for 5 minutes for a firmer texture.
Note

Use thick Greek yogurt for the best layered texture.

For meal prep, keep granola separate and add just before serving to maintain crunch.

Can be made up to 24 hours ahead when stored properly.
