A yogurt parfait with granola is a tasty and simple treat. It layers creamy yogurt with crunchy granola and fresh fruits, making a colorful, healthy snack or breakfast.
I like to make mine in a clear glass so everyone can see all the pretty layers. Sometimes I add a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness!
To save time, I keep granola and fruit ready in the fridge. Just layer and enjoy—perfect for busy mornings or quick snacks!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek yogurt: This creamy, tangy yogurt is the base of the parfait. I prefer plain for less sweetness, but vanilla adds a lovely flavor. A good substitute is Greek-style plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option.
Granola: Crunchy and slightly sweet, granola adds texture. I like honey or maple-flavored granola, but you can use your favorite variety. For a different crunch, try toasted oats or nuts.
Fresh berries: Juicy and vibrant, berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries make the parfait colorful. Substitute with sliced peaches or kiwi if berries aren’t available—both give a fresh taste.
Honey or maple syrup: Adds a touch of natural sweetness. I drizzle a little on top or stir into the yogurt. If you prefer, agave syrup works well or omit for a less sweet parfait.
How do I layer the parfait without it looking messy?
Start with a few spoonfuls of yogurt in the glass. Then add a layer of granola, followed by berries. Repeat until the container is full. Use a spoon to gently press down each layer; this helps keep everything neat and prevents spills.
