Description
A quick and nourishing parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, protein-packed granola, and fresh berries for a delicious and wholesome breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- ½ cup (about 50 grams) protein granola with nuts and seeds
- ½ cup (about 75 grams) mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Stir gently until blended.
- Rinse ½ cup (75 grams) of mixed fresh berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
- In a serving glass or bowl, layer ¼ cup (60 ml) of the yogurt mixture, followed by 2 tablespoons (15 grams) of protein granola, then a few spoonfuls of berries. Repeat layering until ingredients are used, finishing with granola and berries on top.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds over the top layer if using.
- Serve immediately for crunch or refrigerate up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld (note granola will soften).
Notes
Use thick Greek yogurt to maintain layers and prevent sogginess. Add sweetener sparingly to balance tartness. Layer granola between yogurt layers to keep crunch. Fresh berries preferred; thaw frozen berries overnight. Prepare parfait no more than 2 hours ahead to keep granola crunchy. For dairy-free, substitute yogurt with thick coconut or almond-based yogurt and use dairy-free granola.
