Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Divide 0.75 cup of the plain full-fat Greek yogurt between two clear glasses or bowls — this creates the creamy foundation layer that will anchor all other ingredients.

  2. Step 2

    Sprinkle half of the 1 cup granola over the yogurt layer, breaking up any large clumps with your fingers so the pieces settle into the yogurt and create pockets of crunch.

  3. Step 3

    Top the granola with half of the 1 cup fresh blueberries and half of the 0.75 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and halved), distributing them evenly around the glass — the fruit's natural juices will start to release and mingle with the yogurt.

  4. Step 4

    Add another layer: divide the remaining 0.75 cup Greek yogurt equally between the two glasses, spooning it gently over the berries to create a smooth, creamy layer.

  5. Step 5

    Top with the remaining half of the granola, again breaking up clumps so you have a textured, crunchy finish layer.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange the remaining blueberries and strawberry halves on top for visual appeal, then drizzle 1 tablespoon of raw honey or maple syrup over each parfait — let it pool slightly on top and run down between the layers. If using unsweetened coconut flakes, sprinkle 1 tablespoon over each parfait as a final garnish.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately while the granola is still crisp, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours — note that the granola will gradually soften as it absorbs moisture from the yogurt and fruit, which some prefer for a more tender texture.
