Ingredients
Method
- Wash and gently pat dry all berries. Slice strawberries if using.
- In four clear glasses or jars, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each.
- Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer.
- Add a handful of mixed berries to each glass.
- Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of granola over the berries.
- Repeat the layering: yogurt, honey, berries, granola, until glasses are filled.
- Finish with a final sprinkle of granola, chopped nuts, chia seeds, and lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately for crunch, or chill for 15-30 minutes for a softer texture.

Notes
Ingredient Swap: I often use frozen berries when fresh aren't in season, just thaw them first and drain the excess liquid so your parfait doesn't get watery.
Storage Tip: If you need to store these, keep the granola and nuts separate in a small bag and add them just before eating to maintain their delightful crunch.
Make-
Ahead Advice: You can layer everything except the granola the night before, which I find lets the flavors meld beautifully without sacrificing texture.
Common Mistake: A heavy hand with the sweetener can mask the tang of the yogurt.
I always taste the yogurt layer first and adjust, as some brands are tarter than others.
Serving Suggestion: For a special breakfast, I love serving these in wide-mouthed mason jars with a long spoon, it makes the layers look so inviting.
Equipment Note: Any clear glass or cup works, but I prefer something with straight sides to show off all the beautiful layers.
