Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait (Print View)

Creamy Greek yogurt layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola for a quick, wholesome start.

# Components:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

→ Fruit

02 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

→ Grains & Seeds

03 - 1/2 cup granola
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

→ Sweetener

05 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup

→ Flavorings

06 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and sweetener if using. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Gently rinse and pat dry the berries. Slice strawberries if they are large to ensure even layering.
03 - In two serving glasses or jars, spoon 1/4 cup yogurt into the bottom. Add a layer of berries (about 2 tablespoons), then sprinkle 1 tablespoon granola and a pinch of chia seeds. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with berries and granola on top.
04 - Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a slightly softer texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in the time it takes to pour coffee, making mornings feel less like a race.
  • The protein keeps you genuinely full until lunch, which is the whole point of eating something intentional for breakfast.
  • Every spoonful is different—sometimes you hit the crunchy granola moment, sometimes it's pure berry, and that little surprise keeps it interesting.
02 -
  • Wet berries will turn your yogurt watery and ruin the whole structure, so patting them dry is non-negotiable even though it feels like an extra step.
  • Assembling this right before you eat it makes an enormous difference in how the granola stays crunchy—if you make it ahead, the crunch fades within an hour and becomes more like soft cereal.
03 -
  • Keep your yogurt, berries, and glasses cold before assembling—this simple step makes the whole experience feel fresher and more intentional.
  • Buy granola that actually tastes good on its own, because it's doing most of the flavor work alongside the fruit and yogurt.
