Ingredients

  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat, as per your preference)
  • 1 cup of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or any berries you like)
  • 2 tablespoons of honey (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup of your choice of nuts or seeds (such as chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berries:
      • Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold running water.
      • If you’re using strawberries, remove the green tops and slice them into smaller pieces.
      • Set aside a few berries for garnish.
  2. Sweeten the Yogurt (Optional):
      • In a bowl, add the Greek yogurt.
      • If you prefer your yogurt a bit sweeter, drizzle in honey to taste.
      • You can adjust the amount of honey to suit your sweetness preference.
      • Add vanilla extract if you want to enhance the flavor.
  3. Layer the Parfait:
      • Take a serving glass or a bowl and begin by adding a spoonful of the sweetened Greek yogurt at the bottom.
  4. Add Berries:
      • Layer a portion of the mixed berries on top of the yogurt.
  5. Repeat Layers:
      • Continue layering with more yogurt and berries until you fill the glass or bowl.
      • You can make as many layers as you like, but it’s common to have 2-3 layers.
  6. Top with Nuts or Seeds:
      • Sprinkle your choice of nuts or seeds on top of the parfait.
      • These add a lovely crunch and additional nutrition to the dish.
  7. Garnish:
      • If desired, garnish the parfait with a few reserved berries and a sprig of fresh mint for a burst of color and freshness.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:
      • Your Greek Yogurt Parfait is now ready to be enjoyed.
      • Use a long spoon to dig in and ensure you get a bit of yogurt, berries, and nuts/seeds in each bite.
