Ingredients
Berry Mixture
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Parfait Layers
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Berry Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, honey, and vanilla extract. Use the back of a fork to mash the strawberries until they begin to break down and the mixture forms a chunky syrup with visible pieces of fruit.
- Divide Berry Mixture: Evenly distribute the berry mixture among four small mason jars or glasses, creating the first layer of your parfaits.
- Add Yogurt Layer: Spoon the plain Greek yogurt on top of the berry mixture, dividing it equally among the jars to form the creamy middle layer.
- Add Granola: Sprinkle granola evenly over the yogurt layer in each jar, adding a satisfying crunch to the parfait.
- Top with Blueberries: Finish each parfait by topping with fresh blueberries, adding a burst of color and additional fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture, or low-fat to keep the parfait lighter.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of additional honey on top.
- Granola can be substituted with nuts or seeds for a gluten-free option, depending on preferences.
- Prepare parfaits in advance and refrigerate for up to 6 hours; add granola just before serving to maintain crispiness.
