Greek Yogurt Parfait with Honey and Fresh Berries
This Greek Yogurt Parfait is a delightful and healthy breakfast or snack option that layers creamy Greek yogurt with honey, fresh berries, and a granola crunch. It is a nourishing combination of flavors and textures that will leave you satisfied and energized throughout the day. The natural sweetness of honey perfectly complements the tangy yogurt, while the fresh berries and crunchy granola add vibrant colors and a delightful contrast in each bite.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1 cup fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
– 1/2 cup granola
– 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
– Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Berries: Wash and gently pat dry the fresh berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the smaller berries whole.
2. Mix the Honey and Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract (if using). Drizzle in the honey and stir until well-mixed. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
3. Layer the Parfait: Choose a parfait glass or a medium-sized mason jar for presentation. Begin by adding a layer of Greek yogurt at the bottom, followed by a layer of fresh berries, and then a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass. Make sure the top layer includes some photo-worthy fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.
4. Garnish: If you like, you can add a sprig of fresh mint leaves on top for an extra touch of color and aroma.
5. Serve: Serve immediately to retain the crunchiness of the granola, or refrigerate for up to an hour if you prefer a slightly softer granola texture.
Enjoy this vibrant and nutritious Greek Yogurt Parfait as a refreshing start to your morning or a wholesome snack any time of the day!
