Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry.

Remove the stems and chop the strawberries into bite-sized pieces.

Set aside.

2. Prepare the Serving Glasses

Use four clear glasses, jars, or small dessert cups.

Clear glasses are ideal because they showcase the colorful layers.

3. Add the First Yogurt Layer

Spoon approximately ¼ cup of honey-vanilla Greek yogurt into the bottom of each glass.

Spread it gently into an even layer.

4. Add the Strawberries

Add a layer of chopped strawberries over the yogurt.

Divide them evenly among the four glasses.

5. Add the Blueberries

Add a layer of fresh blueberries over the strawberries.

6. Add the Granola

Sprinkle a layer of almond granola over the fruit.

For the crunchiest texture, avoid adding too much granola too far in advance.

7. Repeat the Layers

Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients:

1. Greek yogurt
2. Strawberries
3. Blueberries
4. Almond granola

Finish with a generous spoonful of berries and granola on top.

8. Garnish and Serve

Top with sliced almonds, a drizzle of honey, fresh mint, or a few extra berries if desired.

Serve immediately for the best contrast between the creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, and crunchy granola.

Chef’s Tips

Keep the Granola Crunchy

If you’re preparing the parfait ahead of time, keep the granola separate and add it immediately before serving.

Use Cold Ingredients

Chilled yogurt and fruit make the parfait especially refreshing.

Choose Ripe Berries

Sweet, ripe strawberries and blueberries provide the best flavor and balance the tanginess of Greek yogurt.

Don’t Overfill the Glasses

Leave a little space at the top for toppings and easy serving.

Make-Ahead Instructions

You can prepare the yogurt and fruit layers several hours ahead of time.

For the best texture, cover and refrigerate the assembled parfaits and add the granola just before serving.

If you prefer softer granola, add it during assembly and allow the parfaits to chill for several hours.

Storage

Store assembled parfaits covered in the refrigerator.

Best enjoyed: Within 1 day.

For longer storage, keep the yogurt and fruit refrigerated separately and assemble just before serving.

Flavor Variations

Mixed Berry Parfait

Add raspberries and blackberries alongside the strawberries and blueberries.

Banana Strawberry Parfait

Add sliced bananas for extra sweetness and creaminess.

Tropical Parfait

Add diced mango, pineapple, and toasted coconut.

Chocolate Berry Parfait

Add mini chocolate chips or a light drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Nut Butter Parfait

Drizzle each layer with almond butter or peanut butter for extra richness.

Protein Parfait

Use a high-protein Greek yogurt and add chia seeds or hemp hearts.
