A quick and easy breakfast parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, crunchy granola, and natural sweeteners for a nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (475 ml) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups (about 225 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a mix)
  • 1 cup (100 g) granola (clean-label with nuts and seeds, minimal added sugars)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, a few sprigs)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (475 ml) of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. Whisk or stir briskly until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Rinse 1½ cups (225 g) of berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice strawberries or larger fruits into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen berries, thaw slightly to avoid watery parfaits.
  3. Layer the parfait in serving jars or cups: start with about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of granola at the bottom, add a few spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture, sprinkle some berries, then another layer of granola and yogurt. Repeat until the container is filled, finishing with a handful of fresh fruit on top.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 g) of chia seeds over the top for added texture and nutrition. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  5. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. If prepping ahead, keep granola separate and add just before serving to keep it crunchy.
  6. If the yogurt mixture is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk (dairy or plant-based) to loosen slightly, avoiding too much liquid to prevent watery parfaits.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture. Stir honey or syrup slowly into yogurt to avoid clumps. Keep granola separate if prepping ahead to maintain crunch. Substitute coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free version. Use seasonal fruits or nuts for variety.
