Servings: 4 servings

2 cups granola (classic oat and nut granola, lightly sweetened)
3 cups yogurt (Greek or skyr for extra protein; vanilla, plain, or lightly sweetened)
2 cups mixed fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or diced peaches/mango)
2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, if using plain yogurt)
Pinch of cinnamon or cardamom (optional, for warmth)
Zest of 1 lemon or orange (optional, for brightness)
Small handful of chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, pepitas, or chia seeds)
Pinch of flaky salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Prep the yogurt: If using plain yogurt, stir in vanilla and a little honey or maple syrup. Add a pinch of cinnamon or citrus zest if you like. Taste and adjust sweetness.
Prep the fruit: Rinse and pat dry. Slice strawberries, dice peaches, or keep berries whole. If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain excess liquid so the parfait doesn’t get watery.
Choose your glasses: Use clear glasses, jars, or bowls with enough depth for layers. Aim for 10–14 ounces per serving.
Layer 1 – Yogurt: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons yogurt into the bottom of each glass and smooth gently.
Layer 2 – Fruit: Add a spoonful of fruit. If using very tart fruit, drizzle a touch of honey over this layer.
Layer 3 – Granola: Sprinkle a generous layer of granola to cover the fruit. Add a tiny pinch of flaky salt if desired.
Repeat the layers: Continue with yogurt, fruit, and granola until you reach the top. Finish with a final dollop of yogurt for a clean look, or a final sprinkle of granola for crunch.
Top it off: Add chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch, a few fresh berries for color, and a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
Serve right away: Enjoy immediately for maximum crunch. If serving later, keep granola separate until just before eating.
