Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt thick and creamy
  • 2 tablespoons fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon granola nutty and crunchy
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional for sweetness

Equipment

  • Tall glass or jar
  • small spoon
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Place your tall glass or jar nearby, ready for layering.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of the glass, pressing gently to create a smooth, flat layer that feels creamy to the touch.
  3. Add a handful of fresh berries on top of the yogurt, pressing lightly so they settle into the layer and release a fragrant, fruity aroma.
  4. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of granola over the berries, aiming for an even distribution that adds a satisfying crunch and nutty aroma.
  5. Repeat the layering process: spoon another 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt over the granola, then add more berries, and top with another tablespoon of granola, creating a colorful, textured stack.
  6. Finish with a final dollop of yogurt on top, then garnish with a few berries and a sprinkle of granola for a rustic, inviting look. Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the top if desired for added sweetness and shine.
  7. Let the parfait sit for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld slightly and the textures to soften just a bit, enhancing the overall experience.
  8. Serve immediately with a small spoon, enjoying the vibrant colors, contrasting textures, and fresh aroma of this imperfectly perfect breakfast parfait.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits, nuts, or sweeteners. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. For dairy-free options, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
