A quick and easy high-protein Greek yogurt parfait layered with mixed berries and crunchy granola, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack that is light yet filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1/2 cup (75g) mixed berries, fresh or frozen (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/3 cup (30g) granola, your favorite crunchy variety
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon honey if using. Stir gently until well mixed and creamy.
  2. Rinse 1/2 cup of mixed berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen berries, thaw for 5-10 minutes or microwave for 15 seconds to soften slightly.
  3. In a serving glass or bowl, layer 1/3 cup of the yogurt mixture at the bottom, then add a tablespoon of berries followed by 1-2 tablespoons of granola. Repeat layers until the glass is full, ending with granola and a few berries on top.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon chia seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped nuts on top for extra texture and nutrition, if desired.
  5. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours (note granola may soften).

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best layering. Toast granola lightly for extra crunch. Add granola just before serving if preparing ahead to keep it crunchy. Frozen berries should be thawed slightly to avoid sogginess. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt and gluten-free granola for vegan and gluten-free versions.
