Greek Yogurt Parfait Layers (Printable)

Creamy yogurt layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola for a quick, satisfying treat any time of day.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

→ Fruit

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

→ Sweeteners

03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

→ Grains

04 - 1 cup granola

→ Optional Toppings

05 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - Zest of 1 lemon

# How To Make It:

01 - Rinse berries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry gently with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into quarters if using. Leave blueberries and raspberries whole.
02 - Place four clear parfait glasses or mason jars on a flat surface. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each glass, spreading evenly to form the base layer.
03 - Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer in each glass. Allow it to seep slightly into the yogurt for natural sweetness distribution.
04 - Distribute an equal portion of mixed berries among the four glasses, arranging them against the glass sides for visual appeal. Create an even fruit layer over the sweetened yogurt.
05 - Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of granola over each berry layer. Ensure even coverage to maintain the distinct layered appearance and provide texture contrast.
06 - Repeat the layering process—yogurt, sweetener, berries, granola—until each glass reaches three-quarters full. Aim for 3 to 4 complete layers depending on glass height.
07 - Top each parfait with a final sprinkle of remaining granola. Add chopped nuts, chia seeds, and fresh lemon zest if using for enhanced flavor and professional presentation.
08 - Serve immediately while granola remains crunchy for optimal texture contrast. Alternatively, refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to soften granola slightly and allow flavors to meld.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes but looks like something from a fancy brunch spot
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before serving, which makes it perfect for entertaining
02 -
  • Dry your berries thoroughly or the water will pool at the bottom of your glasses
  • Assemble these right before serving because the granola starts getting soft after about an hour
03 -
  • Taste your yogurt first and adjust the honey amount based on how tart it is
  • Use a long handled spoon to drop ingredients down the sides of tall glasses for cleaner layers
