0.5 cup Fresh Raspberries
1 cup Granola
2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients on a clean workspace

- Sprinkle a thin layer of granola over the fruit
- Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the container
- Finish with a final dollop of yogurt and a handful of berries
- If desired, drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup over the top right before serving
Notes
For best crunch, add granola right before serving. If meal-prepping, store granola separately.
Use a tall, narrow glass for more layers and improved visual appeal.
If yogurt is too thick, whisk it with a teaspoon of milk or water to achieve a smoother consistency for layering.
Consider macerating berries with a tiny bit of lemon juice and honey for a delicious natural sauce.
Serve the Berry Yogurt Parfait chilled for the most refreshing experience.
Store yogurt and fruit layers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, keeping granola separate.
Do not reheat the parfait, as heat will ruin the texture of the yogurt and make berries mushy.
Do not freeze the parfait, as yogurt will separate and change texture upon thawing.
For a grab-and-go option, layer yogurt at the bottom of a mason jar, then fruit, and add granola just before eating.
