A quick, protein-packed Greek yogurt parfait layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola, perfect for a nourishing and satisfying breakfast that supports weight loss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (100 g) crunchy granola with nuts and seeds
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or mix)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped almonds or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Mix the Yogurt Base (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (480 ml) of plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and creamy. If honey is thick, warm slightly to blend easier.
  2. Prepare the Fruit and Nuts (5 minutes): Rinse 1 cup (150 g) of fresh berries and pat dry. Hull and slice strawberries if using. Chop 1/4 cup (30 g) of almonds or walnuts into small pieces.
  3. Layer the Parfait (5 minutes): In a serving jar or bowl, start with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the yogurt mixture. Add a spoonful of berries, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons (20 g) of granola on top. Repeat layering until full, finishing with granola and nuts.
  4. Optional Additions: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 g) of chia seeds on top or mix into the yogurt. Let sit 5 minutes if you want chia seeds softened.
  5. Serve Immediately or Chill: Enjoy fresh to keep granola crunchy. Refrigerate up to 4 hours if needed, but granola may soften.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. Pat berries dry to avoid soggy parfait. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor. Can substitute coconut milk yogurt and maple syrup for a vegan version. Store granola separately if prepping ahead.
