This Chilled Berry and Yogurt Parfait is a healthy fruit dessert that’s both refreshing and satisfying, perfect for a guilt-free treat. Layers of creamy Greek yogurt, antioxidant-rich berries, and a touch of honey create a naturally sweet dessert without refined sugars. It’s high in protein and fiber, making it a great choice for a light dessert or even a breakfast option.

Equipment

  • - 2 serving glasses or bowls

Instructions

1.

Prepare the Ingredients*
  • Rinse the blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Slice the strawberries into thin slices for easier layering.

2.

Layer the Parfait*
  • In each serving glass, add a layer of Greek yogurt (about 1/4 cup) at the bottom.
  • Add a layer of mixed berries (a few blueberries, strawberry slices, and raspberries).
  • Drizzle 1/2 tbsp of honey over the berries in each glass.
  • Sprinkle a small amount of granola and chia seeds (if using) over the berries.
  • Repeat the layers (yogurt, berries, honey, granola) until the glasses are filled, ending with a few berries on top for garnish.

3.

Chill and Garnish*
  • Place the parfaits in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to chill and let the flavors meld.
  • Before serving, top with chopped almonds or walnuts (if using) for added crunch.

4.

Serve*
  • Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Ingredients

Tips

  • - Use frozen berries if fresh ones aren’t available—they’ll thaw slightly while chilling and add a nice texture.
  • - Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt to make this dessert vegan and dairy-free.
  • - Make ahead and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy.
