Ingredients
- 1 cup Homemade Granola
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup Fresh Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Chopped Nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds (optional)
Layering the Parfait
Begin by placing a layer of granola at the bottom of a glass or bowl. This provides a crunchy base for the parfait. You can use store-bought granola or your favorite homemade recipe.
Adding Yogurt
Next, add a layer of Greek yogurt over the granola. Greek yogurt is preferred for its thick and creamy texture, as well as its high protein content. Plain or vanilla flavored yogurt can be used, depending on your preference.
Berries and Honey
Arrange a layer of fresh berries on top of the yogurt. A mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries adds a variety of flavors and colors. Drizzle honey generously over the berries, adding sweetness and enhancing their natural flavors.
Repeat and Garnish
Repeat the layers of granola, yogurt, and berries until the glass or bowl is full. Finish with a final drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or chia seeds for added texture and nutrients. Serve immediately and enjoy!
FAQ
-
Can I use different types of yogurt?
Yes, you can use any type of yogurt you prefer. However, Greek yogurt is recommended for its thickness and high protein content. Regular yogurt or flavored yogurt alternatives are also suitable. -
Can I substitute the honey with another sweetener?
Absolutely! Maple syrup, agave nectar, or even a sugar-free sweetener can be used as a substitute for honey. Adjust the amount to your desired level of sweetness. -
How long can I store the parfait?
It's best to assemble and serve the parfait immediately. If you need to prepare it in advance, assemble it without the honey to prevent the granola from getting soggy. Drizzle the honey just before serving.
