Berry Yogurt Protein Breakfast Parfait

Ingredients (about 2 servings)

• 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or 0%)

• ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen and thawed)

• ¼ cup granola or rolled oats

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt (about 1/16 teaspoon)

Optional toppings “to taste”

• Extra berries

• A few chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

• Chia seeds or flaxseed

Directions

1. Mix the yogurt base

   • In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, vanilla, chia or flax, and a pinch of salt.

2. If you like a slightly sweet breakfast, stir in 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup.

   *Taste a spoonful of the yogurt and adjust "to taste"

   • If you want it sweeter → add a bit more honey/maple, ½ teaspoon at a time.

   • If you want more vanilla → add a few extra drops and stir again.

3. Layer the parfaits

   • In 2 jars or bowls, add a layer of yogurt, then a layer of berries, then a sprinkle of granola or oats.

   • Repeat until ingredients are used up, ending with berries and granola on top.

4. Add optional toppings

   • Top with extra berries, a few chopped nuts, or a pinch more chia or flax “to taste.”

5. Serve or chill

   • Enjoy immediately for crunchier granola, or cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes if you like the oats or granola slightly softened.

Leftovers; Store in the fridge for 1–2 days. If using granola, it will soften; if you want it crunchy, add it right before serving.

Enjoy!
