Overview
Why it works
Snack, breakfast, dessert - this parfait flexes into any meal slot when you need quick protein without cooking. Build it in a glass jar and you can grab it on the way out the door.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt delivers casein for sustained amino acid release.
- Berries are the most polyphenol-dense fruit category - strong recovery support.
- Granola adds crunch and slow carbs without spiking blood sugar like cereal does.
Ingredients
Ingredients · 1 servings
- 1.5 cups 2% Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry)
- 1/4 cup low-sugar granola
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- Fresh mint to finish (optional)
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Spoon half of the Greek yogurt into the bottom of a tall glass or jar and spread it into an even layer.
- 2
Add half the mixed berries on top of the yogurt, pressing a few into the yogurt so they bleed color.
- 3
Scatter half the granola over the berries and drizzle with half the honey.
- 4
Repeat the layers: remaining yogurt, remaining berries, remaining granola, remaining honey.
- 5
Sprinkle the chia seeds over the top and add a few mint leaves if using.
- 6
Eat immediately for crunchy granola, or seal and refrigerate up to 2 days; the granola will soften overnight which some people prefer.
Pro Tips
Coach-level details
- Use frozen berries - they bleed color and flavor through the yogurt overnight.
- Make 3 jars at once for the week. Add granola only when serving so it stays crunchy.
- Stir in a half scoop of vanilla whey for a 45g protein version.
