A quick and easy fresh Greek yogurt parfait layered with mixed berries and crunchy granola, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) mixed berries (strawberries hulled and sliced, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 cup (120 g) granola (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the berries: Wash all berries thoroughly under cool running water. Pat dry gently with a clean towel. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. (About 5 minutes.)
  2. Mix the yogurt base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (480 ml) of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Whisk gently until smooth and slightly glossy. (Approx. 2 minutes.)
  3. Layer the parfait: Spoon about ¼ cup (60 ml) of the yogurt mixture into your serving glass or bowl. Add a layer of mixed berries—about ¼ cup (40 g). Follow with a 2 tablespoon (15 g) sprinkle of granola. Repeat layers until the glass is full, finishing with berries and granola on top.
  4. Add optional toppings: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 g) of chia seeds on top for extra nutrition. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  5. Serve immediately for best crunch or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Granola will soften if stored longer but remains tasty.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Keep granola separate until serving to maintain crunch. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute with coconut or almond milk yogurt and vegan granola. Optional add-ins include almond butter, cinnamon, protein powder, or dark chocolate chips.
