Prep the fruit: Wash and dry berries. Slice bananas, peaches, or other larger fruits. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain excess liquid so your parfait doesn’t get watery.

Sweeten the yogurt (optional): In a bowl, stir honey or maple syrup into plain Greek yogurt to taste. Add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of cinnamon if you like.

Choose your glass or jar: Clear glasses, bowls, or small Mason jars make nice layers and easy storage. Aim for 8–12 ounces per serving.

Start with yogurt: Spoon a layer of Greek yogurt into the bottom of the container. This anchors the parfait and keeps granola from getting soggy too fast.

Add fruit: Scatter a layer of berries or sliced fruit over the yogurt. Try mixing two fruits for color and flavor contrast.

Sprinkle granola: Add a layer of granola. Keep it moderate—too much at once can turn soft as it sits.

Repeat layers: Continue with yogurt, fruit, and granola until you reach the top. Aim for 2–3 layers depending on container size.

Finish with toppings: Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup, then add nuts, seeds, or coconut. A tiny pinch of sea salt can make flavors pop.

Serve or chill: Eat right away for max crunch, or refrigerate. If you’re storing, hold back the final granola layer and add it just before eating.
