Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 2 cups Blueberries
- 3 cups Vanilla yogurt
- 1.5 cups Granola
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the vanilla yogurt with honey if you'd like to enhance its sweetness.
Select six serving glasses or clear jars to showcase the layered parfait. Start by adding 2 tablespoons of granola at the bottom of each glass.
Next, add about 2 tablespoons of sliced strawberries, carefully smoothing them into an even layer. Follow with 3 tablespoons of yogurt, gently spooning it on top of the strawberries.
Add 2 tablespoons of blueberries as the next layer, then repeat the process: granola, strawberries, yogurt, blueberries.
Finish with a dollop of vanilla yogurt on top and garnish with a whole blueberry, strawberry slice, and a fresh mint leaf if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving, to keep it fresh and vibrant.
