Servings
2
1 cup Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt
½ cup mixed fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
¼ to ½ cup gluten-free granola
1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup, optional
Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Wash and thoroughly dry the berries. If using strawberries or other larger fruits, slice or chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy layering and eating.
Step 2: Add the First Yogurt Layer
Spoon half of the yogurt into the bottom of a serving glass, mason jar, or bowl, creating an even base.
Step 3: Layer the Berries
Evenly distribute half of the mixed berries over the yogurt, adding a colorful layer filled with fresh flavor.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Granola
Top the berries with half of the gluten-free granola, creating a delicious crunchy texture.
Step 5: Repeat the Layers
Add the remaining yogurt, followed by the rest of the berries, and finish with the remaining granola for a beautiful layered parfait.
Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches
If desired, drizzle honey or pure maple syrup over the top for extra sweetness. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
Enjoy the parfait immediately to keep the granola crisp and crunchy. If preparing ahead, store the granola separately and add it just before serving for the best texture.
Greek yogurt provides extra protein and creates a thick, creamy parfait, while vanilla yogurt adds natural sweetness without additional sweeteners.
Customize your parfait with sliced bananas, kiwi, peaches, mango, shredded coconut, chia seeds, flaxseed, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and nutrition.
For a dairy-free version, substitute your favorite plant-based yogurt and continue using gluten-free granola.
Prepare the yogurt and fruit layers in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add the granola just before serving to preserve its crunch.
