Ingredients
  

  • Plain Greek yogurt - 2 cups. The star of the show! Use full-fat plain Greek yogurt for the richest creamiest texture and a nice tangy flavor. It’s also packed with protein.
  • Mixed nuts - 1/2 cup roughly chopped. I recommend a mix of almonds, walnuts, and pecans for a variety of textures and nutty flavors. Always chop them fresh for the best crunch.
  • Honey or maple syrup - 1 tablespoon. This adds a touch of natural sweetness. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference.
  • Fresh fruit - 1 cup your choice. Berries like blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries work wonderfully. Sliced bananas or peaches are also great options.
  • Granola optional - A sprinkle for extra crunch and flavor.

Method
 

  1. First, get all your ingredients ready. Wash and slice your fruit if needed. Roughly chop your mixed nuts to release their flavor and create a pleasant texture. Having everything prepped and within reach makes the assembly process smooth and quick.
  2. Take your serving glasses or bowls and spoon a generous layer of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each one. This creamy foundation sets the stage for the rest of the ingredients. Spreading it evenly helps create those distinct, beautiful layers.
  3. Next, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt. Then, add a layer of your fresh fruit. The sweetness from the honey and the natural sugars from the fruit will complement the tanginess of the yogurt perfectly.
  4. Sprinkle a handful of your chopped mixed nuts over the fruit layer. This is where the satisfying crunch comes in. The nuts not only add texture but also provide healthy fats and protein, making the parfait more filling.
  5. Continue layering yogurt, honey, fruit, and nuts until you reach the top of your glass. End with a final layer of fruit and a sprinkle of nuts for a beautiful presentation. You can also add a bit of granola on top for an extra crunch.
