Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅛ cups approx. 255g Plain Greek Yogurt, full-fat recommended
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Honey or Pure Maple Syrup adjust to your preferred sweetness
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ⅜ cup approx. 55-60g Mixed Berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries), or other fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ⅜ cup approx. 40-45g Granola (preferably homemade or a low-sugar, whole-grain variety)
  • 1 tablespoon approx. 8g Sliced Almonds

Method
 

  1. In a small mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the Greek yogurt with your chosen sweetener (honey or maple syrup) and the ground cinnamon until it's uniformly smooth and the spice is well-distributed.
  2. Select a clear serving glass or jar (a 12 to 16-ounce capacity is ideal for this generous portion) to showcase the layers. Spoon approximately half of the cinnamon-infused yogurt into the bottom of the glass, creating an even base.
  3. Carefully arrange about half of your mixed berries over the yogurt layer. Next, distribute roughly half of the granola and half of the sliced almonds on top of the berries.
  4. Gently add the remaining seasoned yogurt over the fruit and granola, creating the subsequent main layer. Smooth the top lightly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Complete your parfait by garnishing the top with the reserved mixed berries, the rest of the granola, and the final sprinkle of sliced almonds. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures.

Notes

Notes
  • Make Ahead: For optimal texture if preparing in advance, assemble the yogurt and fruit layers in your jar. Store the granola and almonds separately at room temperature and add them just before consumption to ensure they remain delightfully crunchy.
  • Ingredient Flexibility: Feel free to substitute the berries with other seasonal fruits like diced peaches, figs, or pomegranate seeds. The type of granola can also be varied to your liking.
  • Serving Suggestion: A taller, clear glass will best display the appealing layers of this parfait.
