Next to the apple, there are sliced red strawberries with their juicy texture showing, accompanied by two whole raspberries with a bumpy surface.

Ingredients

1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (use thick, creamy yogurt for texture)
1 cup Granola (choose your favorite mix)
1 cup Mixed berries (fresh or thawed frozen)
1 medium Banana, sliced
1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (drizzle lightly)
2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
1 tablespoon Chia seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Gently spread the thick Greek yogurt into your serving bowl, creating a smooth, creamy base.
Step 2: Evenly scatter a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the yogurt.
Step 3: Fan out banana slices on top of the berries to balance the tartness with natural sweetness.
Step 4: Generously sprinkle your favorite granola blend over the fruit for a satisfyingly crisp texture.
Step 5: Drizzle honey or maple syrup lightly across the surface for an extra touch of natural sweetness.
Step 6: Garnish with chopped nuts and chia seeds to add crunch and a beautiful presentation.

Tips & Variations

Use seasonal fruits like peaches or mango for a different flavor twist.
Swap granola for toasted oats or crushed nuts if you want a gluten-free option.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa nibs for extra depth of flavor.
Use flavored yogurt like vanilla or honey for added sweetness without extra drizzle.

Storage

Assemble just before serving for the best texture, as granola can become soggy over time. If you have leftovers, store the yogurt and fruit mixture separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add granola and nuts only when ready to eat. Reheat is not recommended.

How to Serve

A white bowl with a blue rim holds a layered yogurt parfait. The bottom layer is smooth white yogurt, topped unevenly with clusters of golden brown granola scattered over and around fresh red raspberries, bright red sliced strawberries, and deep blue blueberries. The mix of berries and granola covers about half of the yogurt surface, showing the creamy texture beneath. The bowl sits on a white marbled texture surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt?

Yes, flavored yogurt like vanilla or honey can add extra sweetness and flavor, but plain Greek yogurt keeps the dish more balanced and less sweet.

What kind of granola works best?

Choose a granola you enjoy, whether nut-based, fruity, or seeded. Just pick one with a crunch you like to complement the creamy yogurt and juicy fruit.
