Greek yogurt parfait
You can enjoy this berry parfait any time of day. Whether it for breakfast or as an after dinner dessert. We love enjoying sweet treats with berries so much that we include them in our berry chantilly cake, strawberry bundt cake, and honey raspberry cake.
How to make parfait
- For this yogurt parfait recipe start off by rinsing your berries or fruit and patting them dry.
- Then begin assembling your greek yogurt parfait by layering the chopped berries, greek yogurt, and choice of granola in order. I like to layer the parfait ingredients in stemless wine glasses because it makes the greek yogurt parfait look extra fancy, but you can place them in mason jars for a more vintage look.
Parfait Ingredients
- Greek yogurt
- strawberries
- blueberries
- almond granola

Hello. I like this recipe but I do not have any granola. I think I can make it if you give me the recipe as I have oats at home. Or maybe I can substitute something else for it, like cookies or shortbread? Thank you in advance!

Hi Stela, If you don’t have any granola then thats ok. You can use many substitutes, however, it might not taste the same. You can use a cereal that is similar to a granola base. You can try adding some crumbly cookies. You can actually make your own granola with oats, but making that depends on your taste buds. Anything that gives it a crunch and not soggy could work. I hope that helps.
Stela says
It sure does, thank you! Do you have any granola recipes you can give me? I have honey and nuts, I suppose that would be the ingredients needed. Thank you!

Marina, have you tried this yet? It’s been three years, and if you haven’t that means you not only lied to Dina, but lied to us all.
