A quick and easy summer snack featuring layers of creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy granola, perfect for festive gatherings and everyday enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups (90–135 g) crunchy granola (store-bought or homemade with nuts)
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh raspberries (optional)
  • A few sprigs of fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and creamy. Adjust honey to taste if desired.
  2. Prep the Berries (5 minutes): Hull and slice the strawberries, rinse blueberries and raspberries, then pat dry carefully with a paper towel to avoid sogginess.
  3. Layer the Parfait (5-7 minutes): Start with a couple of spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture at the bottom of each glass or jar. Add a layer of mixed berries, then a generous sprinkle of crunchy granola. Repeat layers—yogurt, berries, granola—until the container is full, ending with granola on top.
  4. Garnish and Chill (optional, 10 minutes): Add a sprig of fresh mint on top of each parfait. Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors and cool the parfait. Note that granola will soften the longer it sits.

Notes

To keep granola crunchy, add it just before serving or store components separately if prepping ahead. Use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan adaptation. Ensure berries are dry to prevent sogginess. Homemade granola with nuts and cinnamon adds extra flavor.
