Easy Yogurt Parfait
Here’s how I like to start my day off on the right foot: with a delicious, layered Yogurt Parfait that’s as pretty as it is tasty. I begin with a generous base of thick Greek yogurt—vanilla for a hint of sweetness or plain for that tangy kick. It’s a creamy canvas waiting for its colorful toppings. Next, I sprinkle a hearty layer of crunchy granola for that satisfying bite, followed by a vibrant mix of fresh berries—strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries—that burst with juiciness in every spoonful. A final drizzle of honey or maple syrup brings everything together with just the right touch of sweetness. Whipping up this Yogurt Parfait is a breeze! Start by layering half of your Greek yogurt into two bowls or glasses, drizzling each with honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Sprinkle a crunchy layer of granola next, followed by a colorful array of fresh mixed berries and banana slices for that sweet, fruity punch.
Greek Yogurt: I use it for its creamy texture and rich protein content. You can swap in any yogurt you like; soy or coconut yogurt are great dairy-free options. Granola: Adds a lovely crunch and fiber. Feel free to use any type of granola you prefer, or even a mix of your favorite cereal if granola isn’t on hand. Honey or Maple Syrup: I drizzle this on for sweetness. Agave syrup is a good alternative if you’re looking for something different. Mixed Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are my favorites to use. No berries? No problem. Try chopped peaches, mango, or any fruit you have. Bananas: They provide a soft texture and natural sweetness. If bananas aren’t your thing, pears or apples could work nicely too. Almond Slices: They give a nice crunch and a bit of nuttiness. Swap them out with any nuts you have, or skip them if you’re nut-free.
Top it off with the remaining yogurt, another layer of granola, and a final drizzle of your sweetener. Finish with a sprinkle of almond slices for a nutty crunch. There you have it, a visually appealing and deliciously balanced breakfast ready in minutes!
Storage
I prefer to eat Yogurt Parfait’s the same day since the granola will stay crunchy. However, you could still place them in the fridge and cover tightly with some plastic wrap, and use within 1-2 days. Just remember, the granola may become a little soggy but it is still good.
