Ingredients
Scale
Parfait Layers
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 cup granola
Optional Toppings
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Layer: In a clear glass or jar, spoon a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt to create the bottom layer. This forms the creamy base of the parfait.
- Add Berry Layer: Add a layer of mixed fresh berries over the yogurt, distributing them evenly to cover the surface and add natural sweetness and vibrant color.
- Top with Granola: Sprinkle a layer of granola over the berries, providing a crunchy texture contrast.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering yogurt, berries, and granola until the glass or jar is filled, making sure to finish with a layer of berries and a light sprinkle of granola on top.
- Add Sweetener and Garnish: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top layer if desired for extra sweetness. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to enhance aroma and presentation.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the parfait right away to preserve the texture of the granola and freshness of the berries.
Notes
- If fresh berries are not available, use frozen berries—thaw and drain them before layering to avoid excess moisture.
- For added texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or a spoonful of nut butter between layers.
- This parfait is a versatile dish suitable for breakfast, a healthy snack, or a light dessert.
