Things you will need

Special Equipment/Instruments:

• Mason jar, glass, or small serving bowl
• Spoon

Ingredients:

• Greek Yogurt: ¾ to 1 cup (approx. 170g – 227g) plain Greek yogurt.
• Sweetener: ½ to 2 teaspoons honey (maple syrup or agave works too).
• Crunch: 1–2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (walnuts, almonds, chia, or hemp seeds).

How to Make Your Own Delicious Parfait

First things first, you’re gonna want to grab your ingredients. We’re talking Greek yogurt, honey, some chopped nuts (or seeds!), and, of course, some delicious mixed berries. That’s it!

Step 1: The Base!

You start with Greek yogurt as your base. Just spoon it right into your jar or bowl. Super simple.

Step 2: Sweetness Factor!

Then you drizzle a little honey for sweetness. Just enough to balance those flavors, you know? Don’t go crazy, but make sure it’s got that nice little touch of sweetness.

Step 3: Crunch & Healthy Fats!

Next up, you add nuts or seeds for healthy fat and extra crunch. Seriously, that crunch makes all the difference! I love a good mix, but whatever you have on hand works.

Step 4: Berrylicious!

You also add a layer of fresh berries. You can use whatever you love, or honestly, just whatever’s in season! Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries—all of them are amazing.

Meal Prep Like a Pro!

Here’s a little meal prep tip for you: you can totally mix the yogurt and honey ahead of time. That way, when you’re ready to eat, you just add the fruit and nuts right at the time. It keeps everything fresh and crunchy!

And that’s it. Simple, high protein parfait, ready in minutes.
