A quick and easy berry parfait layered with creamy Greek yogurt and sweetened berries, perfect for a refreshing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (about 480g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
  • Granola or nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of mixed berries with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1-2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener if using. Toss gently to coat and let sit at room temperature to macerate.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  3. Choose serving glasses or jars. Start with a spoonful of sweetened yogurt at the bottom, then add a layer of macerated berries. Repeat layers until glasses are filled, finishing with berries on top.
  4. Optionally, sprinkle a tablespoon of granola or chopped nuts on top for added crunch.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Cover with plastic wrap if chilling.
  6. Enjoy the creamy, tangy, and sweet layers with bursts of berry flavor.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best layering; if using regular yogurt, strain it for 1-2 hours. Macerate berries with lemon juice and sugar to soften and enhance sweetness. Add crunchy toppings just before serving to avoid sogginess. Frozen berries should be thawed and drained before use. For dairy-free, substitute with coconut or almond milk yogurt.
