Tired of skipping breakfast — or grabbing something sugary and unsatisfying on the go?
I used to do the same thing. Mornings were a blur, and by 10 a.m., I was hungry, cranky, and already reaching for coffee #2.

That all changed when I discovered how easy it was to prep a few healthy Greek yogurt parfaits at the beginning of the week.
They’re creamy, crunchy, lightly sweet — and so satisfying.
Plus, they look pretty enough to make you feel like you’re treating yourself to something fancy (even when you’re eating it in yoga pants with a kid on your hip).

Whether you need a quick breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a light afternoon pick-me-up, this easy parfait is one of those go-to recipes that’s always a win.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use 2% for creaminess)

• ½ cup fresh berries (I love a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)

• ¼ cup granola (store-bought or homemade)

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

• Sprinkle of chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for extra fiber)

Instructions

1. Layer the yogurt: Start with half the Greek yogurt at the bottom of your glass or jar.

2. Add the berries: Spoon in half the berries — use a mix for color and flavor.

3. Sprinkle the granola: Add a layer of crunchy granola.

4. Repeat: Add the remaining yogurt, top with the rest of the berries, then another sprinkle of granola.

5. Finish it off: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired, and sprinkle with chia seeds for a little extra superfood boost.

Sarah’s Tips

• Make ahead: You can prep these in mason jars for the week. Just keep the granola separate until serving to avoid sogginess.

• Dairy-free? Swap Greek yogurt for a coconut or almond milk yogurt.

• Berry swap: Use whatever is in season — or even frozen berries in a pinch.

• Kid-friendly tip: Let little hands help layer their own. My youngest calls it a “breakfast sundae.”

Why I Love This Recipe

This parfait feels like a little moment of peace in a busy morning. It gives me protein, fiber, and antioxidants — without turning on the stove.
And when I eat something this nourishing first thing, it sets the tone for my whole day. I’m not grazing through the pantry by 10:30. I’m focused, full, and actually feeling good in my body.
