Description

A Breakfast Parfait is a quick and healthy way to start your day, layered with creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and fresh fruit. It’s perfect for a light breakfast or snack that you can prepare in minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of choice)
  • ½ cup granola
  • ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional for added nutrition)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Layer the ingredients: In a glass or bowl, start by adding ⅓ of the yogurt as the base layer.
  • Add fruit and granola: Top the yogurt with a layer of fresh berries and a layer of granola. If using chia or flaxseeds, sprinkle a teaspoon on each layer.
  • Repeat the layers: Continue layering the yogurt, fruit, and granola until you’ve used all of the ingredients.
  • Drizzle with honey: If you prefer extra sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top.
  • Garnish and serve: Add a few mint leaves for a fresh touch and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can customize the parfait with your favorite fruits, such as bananas, kiwi, or mango.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut or almond yogurt.
