US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Wash the berries well and pat them dry. Slice the strawberries and chop the mango into small bite-sized pieces. Keep the blueberries whole. Assemble: all the ingredients listed above.
Tip — Cut fruit evenly. Small, uniform fruit pieces make the parfait easier to layer and easier to eat.
Start layering: Take serving glasses, jars, or bowls, and spoon a layer of flavored yogurt into the base of the cup. Then generously layer it with clusters of granola and lightly add chopped fruit to the cup, creating the perfect fusion of flavors. Repeat and layer the cup to the top.
This layering gives the parfait its signature crunch.
Tip — Thicker yogurt helps the layers stay neat and beautiful. Greek yogurt or thick dairy-free yogurt works especially well.
Top with strawberries, blueberries, and chopped mango.
Add another layer of yogurt, then granola, then fruit until the glass is filled.
Top with a few extra berries and a spoonful of granola right before serving for the best texture.
Serve right away.
If layering isn’t your thing, you can make this into a yogurt bowl and finish it with crunchy granola and fresh fruit.

Notes

Frequently asked questions

Is a granola parfait healthy?

Yes, a granola parfait can be a healthy breakfast or snack when made with good-quality yogurt, fresh fruit, and moderately sweetened granola. It provides protein, fiber, texture, and natural sweetness.

Can I use frozen berries in a parfait?

Yes, you can use frozen berries, but thaw and drain them first. Too much extra liquid can make the parfait watery and soften the granola too quickly.

How long does a yogurt parfait last in the fridge?

A yogurt parfait can last about 1 day in the fridge once assembled, but the granola will soften over time. For best results, store components separately.

What is the difference between a parfait and a yogurt bowl?

A parfait is layered, while a yogurt bowl is usually assembled in one bowl without distinct layers. Parfaits are often more presentation-focused and portable.

What can I use instead of mango in this parfait?

You can replace mango with banana, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, pineapple, cherries, or extra strawberries.

Is berry parfait a good brunch recipe?

Yes, berry parfait is a wonderful brunch recipe because it looks elegant, can be made in individual cups, and pairs well with muffins, eggs, pancakes, and breakfast casseroles.

Is this berry parfait good for breakfast?

Yes, this berry parfait is ideal for breakfast because it is quick, light, refreshing, and can be made more filling with protein-rich yogurt, nuts, and seeds.

Can I make a berry parfait ahead of time?

Yes, but for the best texture, keep the granola separate until serving. Follow this tips-

Fully assembled parfaits are best eaten right away for maximum crunch.
If storing, keep the granola separate and add it just before serving.
Cut fruit can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
Yogurt can be sweetened and prepped ahead.
Meal prep jars work best when fruit and yogurt are layered first, and granola is packed separately.
