# What You Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt

→ Fruit

02 - 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), washed and dried

04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# How-To:

01 - Distribute 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt evenly into the bottom of each of the four serving glasses or jars.
02 - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola over the yogurt in each glass.
03 - Place approximately 2 tablespoons of mixed fresh berries atop the granola in each serving.
04 - Continue layering yogurt, granola, and berries in the same sequence until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of berries.
05 - Optionally drizzle honey or maple syrup over the final berry layer for added sweetness.

# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, which means no excuses on mornings when you're running late.
  • The texture contrast between creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and soft berries is genuinely addictive.
  • You can prep it the night before and grab it from the fridge, making weekday breakfasts feel effortless.
02 -
  • If you make these more than an hour ahead, the granola will soften—which isn't bad, but it's different, so keep that in mind depending on the texture you're after.
  • Fresh berries make all the difference here, but if they're out of season, frozen berries work just fine as long as you let them thaw and drain off the excess juice so you don't end up with a watery parfait.
03 -
  • The temperature contrast matters—if your yogurt is cold from the fridge and your granola is at room temperature, that pop of texture lasts longer.
  • Buy berries that smell like berries; if they have no scent, they probably won't taste like much either, so choose accordingly.
