Ingredients

• 2 cups Greek yogurt
• 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• 1 cup granola
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. If using, mix the honey and vanilla extract into the Greek yogurt for added sweetness and flavor.
2. Wash and pat dry the mixed berries. Ensure they are fresh and flavorful for the best results.
3. In each of the 4 serving jars, spoon a layer of Greek yogurt at the bottom.
4. Top the yogurt with a layer of mixed berries, followed by a layer of granola.
5. Repeat the layers until the jars are filled, ending with a final sprinkle of granola and a few berries on top.
6. Garnish each parfait with a fresh mint leaf for a touch of color and extra aroma, if desired.
7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing taste.

Helpful Tips

• For a nutty twist, add a handful of chopped nuts to the granola layers.
• If you prefer your parfaits a bit sweeter, drizzle an additional teaspoon of honey over the top.
• Try using seasonal fruits to vary the flavors throughout the year.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, cover the jars with a lid or plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator. They can keep for up to 2 days, though the granola might lose some of its crunch over time.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
• Use agave syrup or maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetener.
• If you dislike granola, try layering with crushed whole-grain cereal or toasted oats.
