Berry Parfait Layered Yogurt (Printable Version)

Creamy yogurt layered with granola and mixed fresh berries creates a refreshing treat.

# What You Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)

→ Fruit

02 - 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), washed and dried

→ Grains

03 - 1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

→ Sweetener

04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# How To Make:

01 - Place 2 tablespoons of yogurt at the bottom of each of the four serving glasses or jars.
02 - Evenly distribute 2 tablespoons of granola over the yogurt in each glass.
03 - Top each glass with approximately 2 tablespoons of mixed berries.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, granola, and berries until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of berries.
05 - Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the final berry layer if desired.
06 - Serve immediately to maintain granola crunch, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if preparing in advance.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but tastes like you spent an hour in the kitchen.
  • The texture contrast—creamy, crunchy, juicy—makes every spoonful interesting.
  • You can customize it completely based on what's sitting in your fridge.
02 -
  • If you layer it more than an hour ahead without eating it, the granola will surrender to the yogurt and lose its crunch—refrigerate only if you're willing to accept softer texture, or assemble individual parfaits right before eating.
  • Berries release juice over time, which is beautiful for flavor but will dilute the yogurt; if you're prepping for later, keep the berries separate and layer them just before serving.
03 -
  • Chill your yogurt and glasses for an hour before assembling if you want everything to stay cold and crisp through breakfast.
  • Buy granola that actually has texture—the dense, oily kind that stays crunchy longest, not the stuff that dissolves into granules at the first sign of moisture.
