Description

This Homemade Yogurt Parfait With Berries is a refreshing, healthy, and visually appealing breakfast treat made with layers of macerated strawberries, fresh blueberries, creamy Greek yogurt, and crunchy granola. It is simple to prepare, customizable, and perfect for a nutritious start to the day or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fruit

  • 1 pound strawberries, freshly hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup blueberries

For the Creamy Base

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey

For the Crunchy Layer

  • 1 cup granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Combine them in a bowl with sugar and lemon juice. Let the berries macerate for about 10 minutes to enhance their sweetness and texture.
  2. Layer the Yogurt: Spoon a few spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt into the bottom of each parfait glass. Drizzle honey over this layer to add a natural sweetness that balances the tartness of the yogurt.
  3. Add the Berries: Add a generous layer of the macerated strawberries over the yogurt, and sprinkle fresh blueberries on top to create a vibrant contrast of colors and flavors.
  4. Include the Granola: Add a layer of granola to provide a crunchy texture. Repeat the layering process until the glasses are filled to your liking, ending with granola on top for a perfect crunch.
  5. Serve or Store: Enjoy the parfait immediately for the best texture. Alternatively, cover with an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Note that the granola may soften if stored for longer periods.

Notes

  • You can mix and match your favorite fruits like peaches, raspberries, or orange zest for variety.
  • Drizzle extra honey on top for added sweetness if desired.
  • Add granola just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
  • Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for sweetness.
  • Store granola separately if preparing parfaits in advance to prevent sogginess.
