A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring layers of fresh seasonal fruit, creamy Greek yogurt, and crunchy granola or nuts. Perfect for busy mornings, snacks, or light desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (whole-milk preferred, low-fat works too)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (150 g) kiwi, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • Optional seasonal fruit swaps: raspberries, mango, peaches, or pineapple
  • 1 cup (100 g) granola (low-sugar, nutty variety recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt with 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and slightly glossy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. Rinse all fresh fruit under cold water. Hull and slice strawberries, peel and dice kiwi, slice banana, and keep blueberries whole. Arrange fruit in separate bowls for easy layering.
  3. Take your glass cups or jars and start with a 2-3 tablespoon layer of the sweetened yogurt at the bottom. Next, add a thin layer of mixed fruit (about 2-3 tablespoons). Follow with a sprinkle of granola or nuts for crunch—about 1 tablespoon. Repeat the layers until the cups are nearly full, ending with fruit or granola on top for a pretty finish.
  4. You can enjoy these parfaits right away for maximum crunch, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to let the flavors mingle (granola may soften a bit, but still delicious).
  5. Optional: Sprinkle with chia seeds, a drizzle of honey, or a few mint leaves on top for a fresh look.

Notes

Use thick Greek or strained yogurt to avoid soggy parfaits. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to balance the natural fruit sugars. Keep granola separate if prepping ahead to maintain crunch. Drain excess liquid from juicy fruits to prevent sogginess. Layer with a spoon for neat presentation.
