Why I Like This Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

This breakfast parfait is quick to assemble, portable, and packs about 18 grams of protein per serving when made with nonfat Greek yogurt. It’s naturally sweet from berries and honey, and the granola adds a satisfying crunch. Because it layers well, it’s perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

What Is a Parfait?

A parfait is a layered dish commonly served at breakfast or as a snack. The most common breakfast version alternates yogurt with fruit and crunchy elements like granola, creating a pleasing contrast of textures and flavors.

Breakfast Parfait Ingredients

  • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or your preferred Greek-style yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granola

How to Make a Greek Yogurt Parfait

Below are clear, simple steps to assemble this parfait. The ingredient amounts above will yield one serving. For meal prep, multiply the ingredients and layer in individual jars.

  1. Spoon 1/2 cup of the Greek yogurt into the bottom of a glass or jar.
  2. Spread half of the sliced strawberries, half of the blueberries, and half of the granola over the yogurt.
  3. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of yogurt, then top with the rest of the strawberries, blueberries, and granola.
  4. Drizzle the teaspoon of honey over the top or mix it into the yogurt before layering, if you prefer.
  5. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Berry Parfait Tips and Tricks

  • To keep granola crunchy, store it separately and add it just before eating when prepping ahead.
  • Swap or combine berries—blackberries, raspberries, or diced peaches work well depending on the season and taste.
  • If you prefer sweeter yogurt, try a honey-flavored or vanilla Greek yogurt. If you want fewer added sugars, stick with plain yogurt and sweeten lightly with honey or maple syrup.
  • Use a wide-mouth jar or clear glass to show off the layers if serving for guests or packing for work or school.

Breakfast Yogurt Parfait FAQs

What kind of jar can I use to store breakfast parfaits? A mason or Ball jar with a tight-sealing lid is ideal for transport and refrigeration.

What yogurt works best for breakfast parfaits? Greek yogurt is a popular choice because it’s thick and creamy and boosts protein, but any yogurt you enjoy will work.

What is the difference between a parfait and yogurt? Yogurt is a single ingredient; a parfait is a layered dish that usually includes yogurt along with fruit, cereal, or nuts.

Can I make a yogurt parfait ahead of time? Yes. Assemble and refrigerate, but keep granola separate until serving to preserve crunch.

Alterations to Lower Calories or WW Points

  • Stick with nonfat plain Greek yogurt to keep calories and fat lower while retaining protein.
  • Choose a lighter granola or a protein granola to change macronutrient balance and support specific goals.
  • Reduce the amount of granola or replace it with chopped nuts or seeds for different textures and calorie adjustments.
