Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup diced mango or peaches
Other
- 1 cup granola
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Yogurt: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter parfait. Stir until smooth and evenly sweetened.
- Layer Ingredients: In clear glasses or jars, start by spooning a few spoonfuls of the sweetened yogurt at the bottom. Add a layer of granola on top, followed by a layer of mixed fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, mango or peaches).
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering yogurt, granola, and fruit until the containers are filled, finishing with a layer of fruit on the top.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh mint leaves on top for a refreshing garnish if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchy granola or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a softer texture.
Notes
- Feel free to swap fruits depending on the season or your preference—options like raspberries, kiwi, or pineapple work great.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk-based yogurts and use vegan granola.
- This recipe is excellent for meal prep and can be made up to a day in advance; note that refrigeration may soften the granola.
