How to Make the Best Yogurt Parfait

There’s something deeply satisfying about a beautifully layered yogurt parfait. This simple yet elegant breakfast brings together creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and vibrant fresh berries in a combination that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. Whether you’re looking for a quick morning meal or a wholesome snack, this parfait delivers both nutrition and flavor.

The beauty of a yogurt parfait lies in its versatility. You can customize every layer to suit your taste—swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt to make it vegan, use your favorite seasonal fruits, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth. The key is layering the ingredients so each spoonful gives you a perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity textures.

For the best results, serve your parfait immediately after assembling to keep the granola crispy. If you’re meal prepping, simply store the components separately and layer them fresh each morning for a breakfast that feels special without any extra effort.

Instructions

Assembly

  1. Spoon half of the yogurt into the bottom of a glass or jar.
  2. Layer half of the fruit over the yogurt.
  3. Sprinkle half of the granola over the fruit.
  4. Repeat the layers, alternating yogurt, fruit, and granola.
  5. Top the parfait with a drizzle of honey or any additional toppings desired. Serve immediately to keep the granola crunchy.

Notes

  • Use plain or flavored yogurt based on your preference.
  • For a vegan option, use coconut or soy yogurt and ensure your granola is dairy-free.
  • Frozen fruit works well too—just thaw slightly before layering.
  • For meal prep, keep granola separate until ready to serve to maintain crunch.
