Description
Greek yogurt parfait is a refreshing and nutritious breakfast or snack that combines creamy Greek yogurt with layers of fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a touch of natural sweetness. It’s quick to assemble, packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and fully customizable to suit your taste.
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
1/2 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1/3 cup granola
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)
Instructions
- In a glass or bowl, spoon a layer of Greek yogurt to form the base.
- Add a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola on top of the berries.
- Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a topping of granola and berries.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if desired.
- Sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost, if using.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Best enjoyed fresh. If storing, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; granola may lose crunch.
- Add granola just before serving to maintain crispiness.
- Use flavored yogurt cautiously as it may add extra sweetness.
- Can customize with other fruits like mango, pineapple, peaches, or bananas.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and sweeteners.
- Mix protein powder into yogurt before layering for extra protein.
- Adding spices like cinnamon or vanilla extract enhances flavor.
