Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup granola slightly toasted for extra flavor
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt chilled for better layering
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or your favorite
  • 1 tbsp honey for drizzling
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional, for brightness
  • a handful nuts chopped almonds or walnuts, toasted optional

Equipment

  • Tall glass or jar
  • Small spoon
  • Knife
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients: a tall glass or jar, a small spoon, a knife, and a measuring cup.
  2. Start by spooning a generous layer of granola into the bottom of your glass, spreading it evenly across the base. You should see a crisp, textured layer forming and hear a gentle crunch.
  3. Next, scoop about half a cup of chilled Greek yogurt and gently spread it over the granola, creating a smooth, creamy layer that contrasts with the crunch below.
  4. Add a handful of fresh berries on top of the yogurt, pressing them lightly into the creamy layer to release their vibrant juices and color.
  5. Repeat the layers: spoon another layer of granola, followed by yogurt, then berries, until your glass is filled. Finish with a final sprinkle of granola and berries for an appealing top.
  6. If desired, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts and a little lemon zest on the top for added crunch and brightness.
  7. Drizzle a little honey over the top for a touch of sweetness, and give the parfait a gentle final look to ensure everything is nicely layered.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy maximum crunch from the granola, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if you prefer the layers to meld slightly while still maintaining some crispness.
