Print Recipe

A quick and healthy breakfast parfait featuring layers of creamy Greek yogurt, fresh mixed fruit, and crunchy granola. Perfect for busy mornings and easily customizable to suit dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (about 475 ml)
  • 1 ½ cups mixed fresh fruit (about 225 grams) – strawberries (hulled and sliced), blueberries, kiwi (peeled and chopped), banana slices
  • 1 cup crunchy granola (about 100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (5-7 minutes): Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly. Hull and slice strawberries, peel and chop kiwi, slice banana just before layering to avoid browning. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Yogurt (2-3 minutes): In a mixing bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with optional ingredients like vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer the Parfait (5 minutes): Start with a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom of each cup. Add a layer of mixed fruit, then a sprinkle of granola. Repeat layers ending with granola on top for crunch. If using chia or flaxseeds, sprinkle them between layers or on top.
  4. Chill or Serve Immediately: Serve right away or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.

Notes

Use thick yogurt like Greek or strained dairy-free yogurt to avoid sogginess. Keep granola separate until serving to maintain crunch. Slice bananas last to prevent browning. For make-ahead parfaits, prep fruit and yogurt the night before and assemble in the morning. Adjust fruit based on seasonality and preference.
