Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 2 cups Blueberries
- 2 cups Vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup Granola
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, stir the vanilla Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup (if desired) to adjust sweetness to taste.
Select 4 clear glasses or jars to showcase the layers of the parfait.
To assemble the parfaits, start by adding 2 tablespoons of strawberries as the base layer in each glass.
Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt on top of the strawberry layer, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granola evenly on top of the yogurt layer.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of blueberries on top of the granola layer.
Repeat the layering process (strawberries, yogurt, granola, blueberries) until the glasses are full or the ingredients are used, ending with a blueberry layer on top.
Optionally, garnish each parfait with a small cluster of whole blueberries and a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled treat.
