A yogurt parfait with granola is a tasty and healthy treat. It has creamy yogurt layered with crunchy granola and fresh fruits, making it colorful and delicious for breakfast or a snack.
I’ve made these parfaits many times, and I often change the fruits to match my mood. Sometimes I add a sprinkle of honey or a few nuts for extra crunch.
For an extra boost, I recommend using Greek yogurt for more protein. It’s a simple way to make your parfait even more satisfying and nutritious!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek yogurt: I love using plain Greek yogurt for its creaminess and tang. If you prefer a milder flavor, regular yogurt works well. For a dairy-free version, try coconut or almond yogurt. Just ensure it’s thick enough to hold layers nicely.
Granola: Crispy granola adds crunch and sweetness. I recommend a honey or maple variety, but try cinnamon or vanilla flavored for extra taste. If you’re gluten-free, look for certified gluten-free granola options.
Fresh berries: Blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries brighten the parfait and add juiciness. Use fresh for the best texture, but frozen berries work in a pinch—just thaw and drain excess moisture first.
Honey or syrup: A drizzle of honey sweetens the parfait naturally. Maple syrup is a good alternative. You can also skip it if you like the tartness of the yogurt and berries.
How do I layer the parfait so it looks beautiful?
Start with a spoonful of yogurt in the glass, then add granola, followed by berries. Repeat layers until almost full, ending with berries on top. Keep it even and look for balance—don’t overfill to avoid spills. Take your time for a neat look.
- Use clear glasses to show off the layers.
- Don’t press down too hard; gently spoon each layer.
- Finish with toppings like more berries or a drizzle of honey for a pretty finish.
