About this recipe

A yogurt parfait is breakfast in layers: creamy yogurt, juicy fruit and crunchy granola, built in a glass or jar. It is quick, colourful and easy to vary with the seasons.

Greek yogurt gives a thick, tangy base and plenty of protein. Sweeten it lightly with honey and vanilla, and keep the granola separate until just before eating if you are packing it to go.

Equipment you'll need

2 glasses or jars

Tips for success

To make ahead, layer the yogurt and fruit in jars and refrigerate; pack the granola separately and add it just before eating.
Lightly mash some of the berries to release their juices and create a quick compote layer.
Use our homemade granola for a crunchier, less sweet topping.

Substitutions and variations

Use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup for a vegan parfait.
Swap the berries for diced mango, kiwi and passion fruit.
Add a layer of chia pudding or a spoonful of nut butter.

Storage

To store: Refrigerate yogurt-and-fruit layers (without granola) for up to 2 days.
