A quick and easy parfait combining creamy Greek yogurt, fresh berries, toasted nuts, chia seeds, and honey for a protein-packed, low-calorie breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt (e.g., Fage Total or Chobani)
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries), thawed if frozen
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey (or maple syrup as a vegan alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) toasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread nuts evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Alternatively, toast nuts in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using). Stir gently until evenly mixed but yogurt remains thick.
  3. Start layering the parfait in a glass or jar: spoon a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt at the bottom, add ¼ cup (37 g) fresh berries, drizzle ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml) honey, sprinkle ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon (7.5 g) toasted nuts.
  4. Repeat the layering with the remaining yogurt, berries, honey, chia seeds, and nuts.
  5. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let chia seeds soften and flavors meld. Stir gently before serving if chilled.

Notes

Do not overmix yogurt with vanilla and cinnamon to maintain thick texture. Toasting nuts enhances flavor and crunch but is optional. Add chia seeds just before serving if you want to keep crunch. Use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup for a vegan version. Fresh berries are preferred; thaw frozen berries gently to avoid watering down parfait.
