- 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.75 cups unsweetened granola (low sodium)

Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice them thinly and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain low-sodium yogurt with vanilla extract. If desired, add honey or maple syrup for sweetness and stir well.
In four serving glasses or bowls, layer the ingredients. Start with a few spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries, and then a sprinkle of granola.
Repeat the layering process until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of strawberries and a sprinkle of granola on top.
If desired, garnish each parfait with a fresh mint leaf for an extra pop of freshness and color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving for a chilled treat.
