Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries
  • ½ cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup honey granola
  • 2 –3 tablespoons honey
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Equipment

  • 2 clear glass jars, dessert cups, or bowls
  • Mixing spoon
  • Small bowls for ingredients
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
  1. Wash all berries thoroughly under cold water and gently pat dry using paper towels. Slice the strawberries into thin pieces.
Step 2: Sweeten the Yogurt
  1. If using plain Greek yogurt, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey to lightly sweeten the yogurt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Build the First Layer
  1. Add a spoonful of yogurt into the bottom of each glass or jar. Top with a layer of granola followed by mixed berries.
Step 4: Continue Layering
  1. Repeat the layers of yogurt, granola, berries, and honey until the glasses are filled. Keep the layers neat so the colorful ingredients remain visible from the sides.
Step 5: Add Final Toppings
  1. Finish with extra berries, crunchy granola, a drizzle of honey, and fresh mint leaves if desired.
Step 6: Serve
  1. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill for 10 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing texture.

Notes

For extra crunch, add granola just before serving.
Vanilla Greek yogurt creates a sweeter parfait without extra honey.
Frozen berries can be used if fresh berries are unavailable; thaw and drain first.
To make this dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Mason jars work perfectly for meal prep and portable breakfasts.
