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.
