A quick, easy, and satisfying Greek yogurt parfait layered with fresh berries, granola, and a touch of honey and vanilla, delivering high protein and under 400 calories per serving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or 2%)
  • ½ cup (3.5 oz) fresh berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, or raspberries)
  • ¼ cup (1 oz) low-sugar granola with nuts and seeds
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Optional toppings: 1 tbsp toasted almonds or walnuts, or unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt with ¼ tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir gently until smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Spoon about half of the yogurt mixture into your serving glass or bowl and smooth the surface.
  3. Scatter ¼ cup of fresh berries evenly over the yogurt layer. Slice large berries into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of granola on top of the berries.
  5. Add the remaining yogurt on top, followed by the rest of the berries and granola.
  6. If desired, finish with a sprinkle of chia seeds and a few toasted nuts for extra texture.
  7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to soften chia seeds and cool the parfait. Add granola just before serving if chilled to keep it crunchy.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt brands like Fage or Chobani for best texture. Add granola just before serving if prepping ahead to keep it crunchy. Frozen berries can be used but drain excess liquid before layering. Let yogurt come to room temperature for creamier texture. Optional toppings like nuts or shredded coconut add healthy fats and texture.
