A quick and healthy breakfast parfait featuring layers of creamy Greek yogurt, crunchy granola, and fresh mixed berries, perfect for busy mornings or a light snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (475 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (100 g) granola (lightly sweetened, crunchy)
  • 1 cup (150 g) mixed fresh berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey (raw preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dry the berries carefully. Slice any larger strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Layer the Parfait: Spoon 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the yogurt mixture into each glass or jar. Add about 1 tablespoon (15 g) of granola on top, then a layer of mixed berries (about 2 tablespoons / 30 g). Repeat the layers once more, ending with a sprinkle of granola and a few berries on top.
  4. Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chia seeds over the top if using, or drizzle a little extra honey for added sweetness.
  5. Serve or Store: Enjoy immediately for the best crunch, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours if prepping ahead. Add granola just before eating to keep it crisp.

Notes

Add granola just before eating to maintain crunch. Use thick Greek yogurt for best layering. Substitute coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained. Optional chia seeds add nutrition and crunch. For a chilled dessert, freeze parfait overnight.
