Ingredients:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup granola (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the fresh berries thoroughly under cold water. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. If using strawberries, feel free to slice them for easier layering.
- In a mixing bowl, you can optionally stir in honey into the Greek yogurt for added sweetness. Adjust the amount of honey based on your personal taste preference.
- Prepare your serving glasses or bowls by starting with a layer of Greek yogurt at the bottom. Use a spoon to add about half a cup of yogurt into each glass.
- Next, add a layer of fresh berries on top of the yogurt, distributing them evenly between the two glasses. You can mix and match the types of berries for a colorful presentation.
- If you’re using granola, sprinkle a layer on top of the berries for added crunch. Repeat the layering process with another scoop of Greek yogurt, followed by more berries, and finish with granola.
- Finally, garnish your parfaits with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an aromatic touch. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving.
Extra Tips:
To keep your parfaits fresh and prevent the granola from getting soggy, consider adding the granola just before serving. You can also experiment with different fruits such as bananas, peaches, or kiwi for a seasonal twist.
For a dairy-free option, try using coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt, and feel free to drizzle with maple syrup if you prefer an alternative to honey.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast!
