Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt thick and tangy
  • 1 cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 1/2 cup granola preferably lightly toasted and nutty
  • 1 tbsp honey for drizzling
  • Optional additional toppings nuts, shredded coconut, or seeds

Equipment

  • Tall glass or jar
  • Small spoon
  • Butter knife
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Begin by measuring out your Greek yogurt and set it aside in a small bowl for easy scooping.
  2. Wash your fresh berries gently, then pat them dry so they don’t add extra moisture to the layers.
  3. Place your tall glass or jar on the countertop, ready for layering.
  4. Spoon about one-third of the yogurt into the bottom of the glass, smoothing it gently with the back of the spoon for an even layer.
  5. Add a handful of berries over the yogurt, distributing them evenly for a burst of color and juiciness.
  6. Sprinkle about two tablespoons of granola over the berries, aiming for a crunchy, golden layer that contrasts with the creamy yogurt.
  7. Repeat the layering: add another spoonful of yogurt, then berries, then granola, until the glass is nearly full, finishing with a yogurt layer on top.
  8. Drizzle a little honey over the top layer of yogurt for added sweetness and shine.
  9. Finish with your favorite toppings, like extra berries, nuts, shredded coconut, or seeds, to add visual appeal and texture.
  10. Let the parfait sit for a couple of minutes so the flavors meld slightly and the granola softens just a touch, then it's ready to serve.
