This easy strawberry yogurt parfait is made with creamy honey-flavoured Greek-style yogurt, fresh strawberries and crunchy granola. The yogurt is already lightly sweetened, so there is usually no need to add extra honey. Ready in about 10 minutes, it makes a quick breakfast, healthy snack or simple summer dessert.
Four parfait glasses, drinking glasses or small jars
Serving spoons
Ingredients
3cupsyogurthoney-flavoured Greek-style
2cupsstrawberriesfresh and hulled and chopped or sliced
2cupscrunchy granola
Fresh mint leavesoptional for garnish
Honeyoptional for drizzling
Instructions
Spoon a layer of honey Greek-style yogurt into the bottom of four clear glasses or small jars.
Add a layer of chopped fresh strawberries, followed by a layer of crunchy granola.
Repeat the layers until each glass is filled, finishing with a little extra yogurt and granola on top.
Garnish each strawberry yogurt parfait with sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately while the granola is still crisp. Add a small drizzle of honey only if you would like the parfait a little sweeter.
For the best strawberry yogurt parfait, keep the granola separate until just before serving. This simple step keeps every layer creamy, fresh and nicely crunchy.
Notes
Use a thick honey-flavoured Greek-style yogurt so the strawberry parfait layers hold their shape and do not become too runny.
Taste the yogurt before adding extra honey. Honey-style Greek yogurt is usually sweet enough, especially when fresh strawberries are ripe and in season.
Wash and dry the strawberries well before slicing. Extra moisture can thin the yogurt and soften the granola more quickly.
Cut the strawberries into small, bite-sized pieces so you get fruit in every spoonful of this easy strawberry yogurt parfait.
Add the granola just before serving for the best crunch. It starts to soften fairly quickly once it touches the yogurt.
Clear glasses or small jars show off the colourful layers and make this simple parfait look a little more special.
Prepare the yogurt and strawberry layers up to one day ahead, but store the granola separately until serving.
Vanilla, honey or oat granola all work well in this strawberry granola parfait recipe.
Fresh mint is optional, but it adds a nice touch of colour when serving the parfait for brunch or dessert.
This recipe makes four medium parfaits, but it can also be divided into smaller glasses for a brunch table or party.
