Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess, but you do you!)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (drizzle it like sunshine!)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granola (your favorite kind—nutty, crunchy, or honey-glazed!)
  • 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries—mix ’em up!)
  • Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, chia seeds

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and glossy. Taste and add a touch more honey if you like it sweeter.
  • Spoon about ½ cup of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each of two tall glasses or mason jars.
  • Sprinkle about ¼ cup of granola evenly over the yogurt in each glass.
  • Top the granola with a handful of fresh berries—just enough to make a colorful layer.
  • Add another ½ cup of yogurt, another ¼ cup granola, and a few more berries on top. Make it look pretty—this is half the fun!
  • If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a pinch of chia seeds or some chopped nuts on the very top, or a little coconut for that tropical twang.
  • Grab a long spoon, and dig in—everyone’s gonna love that creamy-crunchy combo.

Notes

  • For make-ahead parfaits, layer the yogurt and fruit in containers but store the granola separately until ready to eat to prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Try using flavored Greek yogurt varieties like vanilla or honey for additional sweetness.
  • Frozen berries can be used (thawed and drained) when fresh aren’t in season.
  • For a protein boost, mix 1 tablespoon of nut butter into your yogurt before layering.
