A quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast parfait made with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, honey, nuts, and oats, all under 300 calories. Perfect for busy mornings and customizable to fit various dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon (21 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients (5 minutes): Wash the berries thoroughly and pat dry. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop nuts if not pre-chopped.
  2. Mix the Yogurt and Honey (2 minutes): In your mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and honey. Stir gently until smooth and slightly glossy.
  3. Toast the Nuts and Oats (optional, 3 minutes): Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add nuts and oats, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Skip if short on time.
  4. Layer the Parfait (3 minutes): Start with a few spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture at the bottom of your glass or bowl. Add a layer of berries, then sprinkle with toasted oats and nuts. Repeat layering once more, finishing with a few berries and a small drizzle of honey on top.
  5. Serve Immediately or Chill: Enjoy right away for fresh crunch or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for a softer oat texture. If chilling longer, keep nuts separate and add just before serving to maintain crunch.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt to avoid soggy oats; strain if too runny. Toast nuts and oats for extra flavor and crunch. Assemble just before eating to maintain texture. Substitute plant-based yogurt and maple syrup for a vegan version. Add cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor. Store components separately if prepping ahead.
