Ingredients
Parfait Ingredients
- 1 32 oz container of whole milk plain yogurt, organic recommended
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 lb fresh or frozen berries
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups granola
Instructions
- Sweeten the Yogurt: Add 3 tablespoons of honey directly into the 32 oz container of whole milk plain yogurt. Stir thoroughly to combine the honey evenly throughout the yogurt, enhancing its natural creamy flavor with a touch of sweetness.
- Assemble the Parfaits: Using mason jars or your preferred clear serving vessels, layer the ingredients starting with a portion of the honey-sweetened yogurt, followed by a generous layer of fresh or frozen berries, and topped with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of granola. Repeat layering if desired, ensuring each parfait has a balanced mix of all components.
Notes
- You can customize the berries based on availability or preference—blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a mix are all excellent choices.
- Granola varieties can be selected to suit dietary preferences, including gluten-free options.
- These parfaits can be prepared up to 3 days in advance; store them covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
- For a lower calorie option, consider using low-fat or Greek yogurt and adjust honey accordingly.
- If frozen berries are used, allow them to thaw slightly for better texture before assembling.
