I remember one summer evening, the kids were playing in the sprinkler, and dinner was winding down on the patio. I wanted something light and sweet, but not heavy. I threw together a few things we had in the fridge—Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and some crunchy granola—and bam, this parfait was born. Now it’s our go-to summer dessert that looks fancy but takes less than 10 minutes!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla if you like it sweeter)

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• 1 cup strawberries, sliced

• 1/2 cup blueberries

• 1/2 cup raspberries

• 1/2 cup granola (your favorite kind)

• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup if using.

2. In serving glasses or jars, start layering: begin with a spoonful of yogurt, followed by a layer of berries, then granola.

3. Repeat the layers until the glass is full, ending with a few berries and a sprinkle of granola on top.

4. Garnish with mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.

5. Serve immediately or chill for up to an hour if prepping ahead.

Sarah’s Tips:

• You can swap the granola for crushed nuts if you’re grain-free.

• Frozen berries work too—just thaw them first.

• Want it extra creamy? Mix in a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
