🥄 A Little Trip Down Memory Lane…

This parfait recipe brings back sunny memories of lazy Sunday mornings around my mom’s kitchen table. I vividly recall the sunshine streaming through the window, filling our kitchen with warmth as we chatted, laughed, and enjoyed bowls packed with crunchy granola, sweet berries from our garden, and creamy, silky yogurt. No rush. No stress. Just the simple joy of savoring good food, good vibes, and good company.

Fast forward to today, it’s those precious little moments that make breakfasts like this parfait so special. Not only does it transport me back to those warm mornings, but it also inspires me to keep creating healthy and tasty dishes that spread joy. Ready to dive in with me? Alright, aprons on!

👇 Let’s get layering!

🛒 Ingredients (for 1 serving):

– ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
– ¼ cup fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or your favorite fruit), diced
– ¼ cup granola (homemade or store-bought—your choice!)
– 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, plus extra for drizzling)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Your Greek Yogurt Parfait:

Seriously, it doesn’t get much easier than this, folks!

1. First up, sweeten your yogurt. If you’re adding honey or maple syrup, go ahead and mix it into the yogurt at this point. Give it a good stir so that sweetness is evenly distributed.

2. Now, get your bowl or mason jar ready—we’re going to layer like parfait pros! Start with half of the sweetened Greek yogurt, spreading it gently at the bottom.

3. Next, sprinkle half of your fresh berries or chosen fruit on top of that creamy yogurt layer. (Can you taste it already?)

4. Follow up your fruit layer by sprinkling half of your crunchy granola on top.

5. Repeat layering once more. Remaining yogurt, fruit, then granola again—it’s almost like dessert, seriously!

6. If you’re in the mood for a little extra sweetness, drizzle on another touch of honey on top. (You know I rarely skip this step—because, well, it’s honey, friends!)

And just like that, breakfast is served! Easy, quick, and totally delicious.

🫙 Make-Ahead Tip:

Thinking about prepping your parfait for the week ahead? That’s smart, my friend! Here’s my tip to avoid ending up with soggy granola: layer only the yogurt and fruit into your jar or container. Keep the granola separately stored in a small bag or airtight container. Sprinkle the crunchy goodness on top right before you’re ready to dig in—freshness is key!

😍 Pro Parfait Tips & Variations:

– Switch up your fruits! This parfait is the ultimate customizable breakfast. Use whatever fruit is in season or your personal fave. Peaches, banana slices, kiwi, mango, pineapple—the possibilities are endless. (What’s YOUR favorite fruit to layer in? Drop a comment below—I’d love to hear!)
– For a fun take on your parfait, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to your yogurt. This cozy tweak gives your parfait a warm, inviting essence.
– Feeling nutty? Sprinkle chopped almonds, pistachios, pecans, or walnuts along with your granola for extra crunch and healthy fats.
– Dairy-free or vegan? No worries, friends! Substitute Greek yogurt with your favorite dairy-free or coconut yogurt, and swap your honey for maple syrup or agave nectar. Easy peasy!
