Creamy Greek yogurt layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola for a nutritious morning boost.

# What Goes In:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

→ Fruit

02 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

→ Grains & Seeds

03 - 1/2 cup granola (low-sugar or gluten-free preferred)
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

06 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and sweetener if using. Mix until well incorporated.
02 - Gently rinse and pat dry the berries. Slice strawberries if large to ensure even distribution.
03 - In two serving glasses or jars, layer components in this order: spoon 1/4 cup yogurt into bottom, add approximately 2 tablespoons berries, sprinkle 1 tablespoon granola and pinch of chia seeds. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with berries and granola on top.
04 - Serve immediately for maximum granola crunch, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for softer texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but actually keeps you full until lunch, which is a rare and beautiful thing.
  • You can make it in less time than it takes to brew coffee, and it honestly tastes fresher when you do.
  • There's zero cooking involved, so even on days when your kitchen feels chaotic, this comes together without any stress.
02 -
  • Layering really matters because it ensures every spoonful has yogurt, berry, and crunch instead of getting to the bottom and finding just soggy granola.
  • Pat your berries completely dry, not because you're fussy but because water is the enemy of crunch and texture in a parfait.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses or jars for five minutes before assembling if you have time, because everything tastes fresher and more intentional in a cold vessel.
  • Buy Greek yogurt from a brand you actually enjoy eating plain, because you'll taste it directly and no amount of berries will hide mediocre yogurt.
