Greek Yogurt Parfait Layers (Printable)

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

# 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 - Wash berries thoroughly and pat dry gently with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into quarters, leaving smaller berries whole.
02 - Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each of four clear glasses or parfait jars, creating an even base layer.
03 - Drizzle approximately ½ teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer in each glass.
04 - Distribute mixed berries evenly among the glasses, placing them directly atop the sweetened yogurt layer.
05 - Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of granola over the berries in each glass, ensuring even coverage.
06 - Repeat the layering sequence—yogurt, sweetener, berries, granola—until glasses are filled to within ½ inch of the rim.
07 - Top each parfait with remaining granola, chopped nuts, chia seeds, and fresh lemon zest if using.
08 - Serve immediately for optimal granola crunch, or refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes for softer, melded flavors.
