Cuisine: Healthy
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup granola
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: Greek yogurt, mixed berries, granola, and honey.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- If using larger berries like strawberries, slice them into bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution in the parfait.
- Select two clear glass serving cups or mason jars to showcase the layers of the parfait.
- Begin layering by adding a generous base of Greek yogurt (about 1/4 cup) to the bottom of each glass.
- Sprinkle a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt, covering the entire surface.
- Add a layer of granola on top of the berries for a crunchy texture.
- Repeat the layering process: yogurt, berries, and granola until the glass is nearly full.
- If desired, drizzle honey over the top layer for added sweetness.
- Garnish with a few whole berries on top for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to maintain the granola's crispness and enjoy chilled.
Tips
- Choose Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: For a creamier, more luxurious texture and better nutrient absorption, opt for full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Customize Your Berries: While mixed berries work wonderfully, feel free to experiment with seasonal fruits like peaches, mangoes, or kiwis.
- Granola Crunch Hack: Toast your granola briefly in a dry pan before adding to enhance its nutty flavor and crispness.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare layers separately and assemble just before serving to keep granola crisp.
- Honey Alternatives: For a lower-sugar option, try using a drizzle of pure maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon instead.
- Presentation Matters: Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers and make your parfait visually stunning.
