3 cups plain Greek yogurt
1.5 cups gluten-free granola Shop
2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness) Shop
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional, for yogurt) Shop
1 tsp fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1 Prepare your parfait components. If you wish to sweeten the Greek yogurt, gently stir in the honey or maple syrup and pure vanilla extract until well combined. This step should take about 1-2 minutes.
2 Begin layering your parfaits in clear glasses or jars. Start with a generous spoonful of the plain Greek yogurt at the bottom, creating a smooth base. This initial layer will take about 30 seconds.
3 Next, add a layer of the mixed fresh berries over the yogurt. Sprinkle a portion of the gluten-free granola on top of the berries, ensuring a good crunch. Continue layering yogurt, berries, and granola until your glasses are nearly full, repeating this process for about 2-3 minutes.
4 Finish the parfaits with a final dollop of Greek yogurt, a scattering of fresh berries, a sprinkle of granola and a little chopped mint, if using. This final touch should take approximately 1 minute.
5 Serve the gluten-free yogurt parfaits immediately for the best texture, or chill them in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though the granola may soften slightly.

Tips & Notes

Full-fat yogurt produces a richer result; reduced-fat works fine in most recipes.
Frozen berries work: thaw them 15 to 20 minutes and spoon a little of their juice over the yogurt as a syrup with no added sugar.
For each glass, plan on about 3/4 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup berries and 6 tablespoons granola, split into two layers each.
Packing parfaits ahead? Keep the granola in a separate container and add it just before eating; layered parfaits keep covered in the fridge up to 24 hours, but the granola softens.
