Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait (Printable Version)

Quick, protein-packed parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy granola crumble.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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 (low-sugar or gluten-free preferred)
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

→ Sweetener

05 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

→ Flavorings

06 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# Cooking Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and sweetener if using. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
02 - Gently rinse and pat dry the berries. Slice strawberries if they are large.
03 - In two serving glasses or jars, layer as follows: spoon 1/4 cup yogurt into the bottom, add approximately 2 tablespoons berries, sprinkle 1 tablespoon granola and a pinch of chia seeds. Repeat layers until 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 takes less time than scrolling through your phone, but tastes like you planned ahead.
  • The protein keeps you full through your morning without that heavy, sluggish feeling.
  • You can prep it in the time it takes your coffee to brew.
02 -
  • Don't rinse your berries until right before assembly—extra moisture sitting in a bowl will make them weep and turn everything pink and watery.
  • The layering trick is what makes this feel special instead of just yogurt with stuff on top; each spoonful hits different textures at once.
03 -
  • Use Greek yogurt that's thicker and creamier—it holds the layers better than thin yogurt and tastes richer.
  • If your granola has big clumps, break them into crumbles by hand rather than smashing them—you want texture variety, not powder.
