A quick, easy, and protein-rich Greek yogurt parfait layered with fresh berries, crunchy nuts, and a touch of natural sweetness, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (150 g) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) granola (low-sugar variety recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) almonds, sliced or chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (10 g) flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups (480 ml) of full-fat Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Rinse 1 cup (150 g) of mixed berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice strawberries into bite-sized pieces if using (about 3 minutes).
  3. In serving glasses or jars, spoon about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the yogurt mixture at the bottom. Add a layer of berries (about 2 tablespoons / 30 g), then sprinkle a tablespoon (15 g) of granola and a teaspoon (5 g) of chia seeds. Repeat layers until the glass is filled, finishing with a berry and nut topping (about 5 minutes).
  4. Top each parfait with 1/4 cup (30 g) of sliced almonds and optionally sprinkle with 1 tablespoon (10 g) of flaxseeds.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld. Cover with plastic wrap or lids if chilling.

Notes

Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. If yogurt is too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or plant-based milk to loosen. For dairy-free, use coconut or almond-based yogurt but note protein content will vary. Swap nuts for seeds if allergic. Fresh berries preferred; thaw and drain frozen berries to avoid excess moisture.
