Healthy Greek yogurt parfaits are simple and tasty snacks. They have creamy yogurt layered with fresh fruit and crunchy granola. They are perfect for breakfast or a quick treat.
I like to make mine colorful and fun. Sometimes I add a drizzle of honey or a few nuts on top. It makes me smile every time I enjoy one!
A quick tip: use your favorite fresh fruit and enjoy these parfaits anytime. They’re a healthy way to start your day or enjoy as a snack!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Greek yogurt: I recommend plain full-fat Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. It’s great topped with honey if you like sweetness. If you prefer a milder taste, try regular plain yogurt—just expect a thinner parfait.
Honey or maple syrup: A drizzle of honey adds natural sweetness. I love how it balances the tart yogurt. You can swap it with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different flavor profile—just use about the same amount.
Berries: Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries make these parfaits vibrant and sweet. I enjoy a mix, but frozen berries work well too—just thaw and drain excess moisture for best texture.
Granola: Crunchy granola adds texture and a nutty flavor. I prefer a low-sugar option, but any kind works. You can also swap with crushed nuts or seeds for a healthier crunch.
Optional toppings: Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon add extra flavor. Feel free to customize with what you like—these little extras make each parfait special.
How do I layer parfaits so they look neat and stay tasty?
Start with a spoon of yogurt at the bottom of the glass, then add berries and a sprinkle of granola. Repeat the layers, finishing with toppings on top. Keep layers even and don’t overfill to prevent spilling. A clear glass shows off your pretty layers!
- Use a small spoon to gently add each layer to keep it tidy.
- Don’t press down too hard; gentle layering keeps everything looking nice.
- Finish with toppings on the top layer for a beautiful, tempting look.
