Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Prepare the Berries
Wash and dry the mixed berries. If using large strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces. Set the berries aside.
Layering the Parfait

Sprinkle a layer of homemade granola over the berries. This adds a delightful crunch and texture to the parfait. Use your favorite homemade granola or store-bought granola with whole grains and nuts.
Repeating Layers
Repeat the layers of yogurt, mixed berries, and granola until you reach the top of the glass. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient based on your personal preferences and the size of your glasses. If you chose to add Chia seeds add some in between each layer.
Finishing Touches
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the top of the parfait for added sweetness. You can also add a few extra berries for a beautiful presentation. You could also add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Serving and Enjoying
Serve the Berry Bliss Yogurt Parfait immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for a later treat. This parfait is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy as a healthy snack. You can use different type of berries according to the season.
