What you will need
This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup mixed fresh berries
- 0.25 cup granola
- 1 tsp honey
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Add the Yogurt Base
Spoon half the Greek yogurt into the bottom of a tall glass or bowl, spreading it into an even layer. Drizzle with a small amount of honey if desired for added sweetness.
Step 2: Layer the Toppings
Add half the berries over the yogurt layer followed by half the granola. Repeat with the remaining yogurt, then top with the remaining berries and granola.
Step 3: Serve Immediately
Serve the parfait right away so the granola stays crunchy. If making ahead, keep the granola separate in a small bag and add it just before eating to avoid it becoming soft.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- plain Greek yogurt → coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option
- mixed fresh berries → frozen berries thawed overnight or sliced banana
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Adding granola too early when meal prepping which makes it soggy and chewy by morning
- Using flavored or sweetened yogurt which makes the parfait overly sweet when combined with granola and fruit
