Berry Parfait with Granola (Printable)

Creamy yogurt layered with fresh mixed berries and crunchy granola for a fresh, light dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)

→ Fruit

02 - 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), washed and dried

→ Grains

03 - 1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

→ Sweetener (optional)

04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# Steps:

01 - Distribute 2 tablespoons of yogurt evenly at the bottom of four clear glasses or jars.
02 - Top each yogurt portion with 2 tablespoons of granola to create the first crunchy layer.
03 - Place approximately 2 tablespoons of mixed fresh berries over the granola in each glass.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, granola, and berries until all ingredients are used, ensuring the final layer is berries.
05 - Optionally drizzle honey or maple syrup atop the final berry layer for added sweetness.
06 - Serve immediately to maintain crunchiness, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if prepared in advance.

# Chef’s Tips:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes and looks like you spent an hour in the kitchen.
  • The contrast between cold creamy yogurt and crunchy granola happens right at your spoon.
  • You can make it ahead, which means breakfast is basically done.
02 -
  • Wet berries will make the yogurt watery, so pat them dry before layering—this one lesson changed everything about how this tastes.
  • The granola will soften if it sits too long, which is why eating it fresh or within a couple of hours makes all the difference.
03 -
  • Cold glasses straight from the fridge make everything taste better—something about the extra chill makes the flavors brighter.
  • If you have time, toast your granola in a dry pan for two minutes before layering to amplify that crunch and warm, nutty flavor.
