Homemade Yogurt Parfait Recipe

5-minute meals clean eating gluten-free healthy fast food at home high protein breakfast kid-friendly no-cook breakfast serves 2 yogurt parfait

There’s something about a Homemade Yogurt Parfait that just feels extra — even though it takes no time to make.

Layered with creamy yogurt, juicy berries, crunchy granola, and a drizzle of honey or nut butter, it’s the perfect blend of textures and flavors. You get fiber, protein, and healthy fats all in one cup — and it’s completely customizable based on what you’ve got in the fridge.

It’s quick, clean, and beautiful — the kind of Healthy Fast Food at Home that makes mornings a little brighter.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut/almond yogurt)

  • ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • ¼ cup granola (low sugar, gluten-free if needed)

  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • 1 tbsp nut butter (optional for extra protein/fats)

  • Optional: chia seeds, hemp seeds, sliced banana, shredded coconut

 

Instructions:

  1. Start layering
    In a jar or small bowl, spoon a layer of yogurt into the bottom.

  2. Add fruit & granola
    Add a layer of berries and a sprinkle of granola.

  3. Repeat
    Repeat layers until the jar is full. Drizzle with honey or nut butter on top if using.

  4. Serve or store
    Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days for meal prep.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Make it dairy-free: Use coconut, cashew, or almond yogurt.

  • Protein boost: Stir in a scoop of protein powder or collagen to the yogurt.

  • Lower sugar: Use plain yogurt and skip the sweetener — the berries are naturally sweet!

  • Meal prep tip: Assemble without granola and add it right before eating to keep it crunchy.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Yogurt Parfait is fresh, light, and full of feel-good fuel. Whether you’re eating on the go or enjoying a slow morning, it’s a fast, nourishing option that looks (and tastes) like you spent way more time than you did.
