A quick and easy snack prep recipe featuring creamy Greek yogurt layered with crunchy granola and fresh berries, perfect for busy days and on-the-go nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 to 1½ cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries)
  • ½ cup crunchy granola (preferably with nuts and seeds)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt with ½ tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup. Stir until smooth and creamy. Fold in flaxseed meal and chia seeds if using.
  2. Rinse 1 to 1½ cups of mixed berries under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger berries like strawberries into bite-size pieces. If using peaches or mango, peel and dice into small cubes.
  3. Layer the parfait by spooning about ¼ cup of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of each jar or cup. Add a layer of 2 tbsp granola, followed by about 3 tbsp fresh fruit. Repeat once more and finish with a sprinkle of nuts or extra granola on top.
  4. Cover jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and keep granola crunchy.
  5. Before eating, optionally stir the parfait for a creamier texture or enjoy the distinct layers as is.

Notes

Keep granola separate until serving if prepping more than a day ahead to avoid sogginess. Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Pat fruit dry to prevent watery parfaits. Vanilla extract enhances flavor. Optional spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can be added for variation.
