Greek Yogurt Parfait with Nuts and Berries
The Greek Yogurt Parfait with Nuts and Berries is a delightful and nutritious breakfast or snack option. It combines the creamy goodness of Greek yogurt with the sweetness of fresh berries and the crunch of nuts, creating a satisfying and balanced treat.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat, depending on your preference)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup as a vegan option)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- Optional: A sprinkle of ground cinnamon for extra flavor
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined. This will be the base of your parfait.
In a separate bowl, gently toss the fresh berries together.
Take a clear glass or a parfait dish and start layering the ingredients. Begin with a spoonful of the Greek yogurt mixture at the bottom.
Add a layer of the mixed fresh berries on top of the yogurt.
Sprinkle some chopped nuts over the berries.
Repeat the layers by adding another spoonful of Greek yogurt, more berries, and more nuts until you reach the top of the glass.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on the final layer for added flavor.
Finish off with a few extra berries and nuts on top for garnish.
Serve immediately, or cover the parfait with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy your delicious and wholesome Greek Yogurt Parfait with Nuts and Berries!

Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to suit your taste preferences.
Experiment with different types of nuts and berries to create a parfait that suits your favorite flavors.
For added texture, you can also layer in some granola or toasted coconut flakes between the yogurt and berries.
Make sure to use fresh, ripe, and seasonal berries for the best taste and nutritional value.
