Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup granola or mixed nuts (for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and dry the fresh berries thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Measure out the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and crunchy toppings, so everything is ready for assembly.
  2. Layer the Yogurt: Spoon a generous layer of Greek yogurt into a clear glass or bowl. This creamy base supports the layers and balances the sweetness of the fruit.
  3. Add the Berries: Evenly scatter a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt, distributing the colors and flavors for visual appeal and variety.
  4. Sprinkle Toppings: Add your chosen crunchy toppings like granola, nuts, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to provide texture and a flavor contrast to the parfait.
  5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering Greek yogurt, berries, and toppings until you fill the container, finishing with a decorative berry or nut garnish on top.
  6. Add a Drizzle: Finish with a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup over the top for a hint of extra sweetness and a glossy appearance.

Notes

  • Use thick, strained Greek yogurt to maintain shape and avoid watery layers.
  • Wash and chop berries in advance for quicker assembly.
  • Add crunchy toppings just before serving to preserve their texture.
  • Serve parfaits in clear glasses or jars to show off the colorful layers.
  • Consider adding fresh herbs like mint or basil for a refreshing flavor twist.
