Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 30 grams Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 200 grams Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 100 grams Granola (preferably high-protein)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
- 2 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with protein powder and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and the protein powder is fully integrated.
Taste the yogurt mixture, and if desired, add honey or maple syrup to enhance the sweetness. Stir again until evenly mixed.
Take four serving glasses or bowls and spoon approximately two tablespoons of the yogurt mixture into the base of each.
Add a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt in each glass, using roughly a quarter of the total berries per serving.
Add a couple of tablespoons of granola on top of the berries in each glass, ensuring even distribution.
Repeat the layers: add another scoop of the yogurt mixture, followed by more berries, and finally another sprinkle of granola.
If using chia seeds, evenly sprinkle them over the top layer of granola for a nutrient boost.
To finish, garnish each yogurt parfait with a couple of fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.
Serve immediately as a delightful high-protein breakfast or a refreshing snack. If preparing in advance, cover and refrigerate, adding granola just before serving to maintain its crunch.
