- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Diet: High-Protein, Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein)
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1/4 cup low-sugar granola
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- A few mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and the protein powder. Use a spoon or whisk to mix them together until the texture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a teaspoon of almond milk.
- Take a clear glass or a mason jar. Spoon about half of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of the container. Spread it out evenly to create a solid base for your toppings.
- Place half of your fresh berries on top of the yogurt layer. Sprinkle the chia seeds over the fruit. This ensures the seeds absorb a little moisture from the yogurt and fruit, giving them a better texture.
- Add the remaining yogurt mixture over the fruit. Follow this with the rest of the berries. This layering technique ensures that you get a bit of everything in every single bite.
- Top the parfait with the granola. Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the very top to add a touch of natural sweetness. Adding the granola last helps it stay crunchy for as long as possible.
