Layered yogurt parfait with fresh berries and granola for a quick breakfast or light dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt

→ Fruit

02 - 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), washed and dried

04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# Steps:

01 - Place 2 tablespoons of yogurt at the bottom of each of the four clear glasses or jars.
02 - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola evenly over the yogurt layer in each glass.
03 - Distribute approximately 2 tablespoons of mixed fresh berries on top of the granola in each serving glass.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, granola, and berries in sequence until all ingredients are incorporated, ensuring the final layer consists of fresh berries.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between cold creamy yogurt and crunchy granola creates texture in every single spoonful
  • You can assemble these the night before and wake up to something that tastes like dessert but counts as breakfast
  • The layered presentation makes ordinary berries look absolutely stunning
02 -
  • Dry berries completely after washing or their excess moisture will make the granola soggy within minutes
  • Always finish with berries on top—ending with granola looks unfinished and loses its appeal
03 -
  • Use a long handled spoon to gently tap the glass after each layer—this settles ingredients without compacting them
  • Save any slightly bruised berries for the middle layers where their appearance matters less but flavor still counts
