🫐 Berry Yogurt Granola Parfaits

Ingredients

• 2 cups greek yogurt
• 1 pint berries
• 1 cup granola
• Honey

Instructions

1. Layer yogurt, berries, and granola in glasses.
2. Repeat the layers and drizzle with honey.

Tips

• Add the granola immediately before eating. Even ten minutes against yoghurt turns it soft, which defeats the point of it being there.
• Use full-fat Greek yoghurt if you want the layers to hold. Thin or low-fat yoghurt slumps and everything bleeds together.
• Mash a spoonful of the berries and swirl it through the yoghurt. It colours and flavours the whole layer instead of sitting as a separate stratum.

Substitutions

Greek yogurt

Skyr is thicker and higher in protein. Coconut or almond yoghurt for dairy-free — pick a thick one. Regular yoghurt works but is much looser.

Berries

Any fruit that isn't too wet: peach, mango, banana, roasted plums. Frozen berries work if thawed and drained.

Granola

Toasted oats, chopped nuts, seeds, or crushed digestive biscuits — anything for crunch.

Honey

Maple syrup for vegan, or nothing at all if the fruit is sweet enough.

Storage & reheating

Assemble and eat. For the week ahead, layer yoghurt and fruit in jars — good for 3 days — and carry the granola separately to add at the last minute.

Common questions

Is this actually a healthy breakfast?

The yoghurt and fruit are, but granola is often closer to dessert than cereal — many are 20–30% sugar. Check the label, or use plain toasted oats and nuts.

How do I stop the layers going watery?

Drain frozen or very juicy fruit first and use thick yoghurt. Watery layers are almost always the fruit, not the yoghurt.

Can I make these the night before?

Yes, minus the granola. The yoghurt and fruit are fine overnight and the flavour improves.
