Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) Plain Greek Yogurt (0% or 2%)
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Raw Honey
  • 1/2 cup (75g) Fresh Berries (Raspberries, Blueberries, or Strawberries)
  • 1 tsp (5g) Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 cup (30g) Low-sugar granola
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) Coconut oil, melted

Instructions:

  1. Condition the yogurt. Whisk 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt with 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract and 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon in a small bowl until the mixture looks silky and aerated. Note: This incorporates the spices evenly so you don't hit a dry pocket of cinnamon.
  2. Hydrate the seeds. Stir in 1 tsp Raw Honey and 1 tsp Chia Seeds into the yogurt mixture.
  3. Prepare the barrier. Place 1/4 cup Low sugar granola in a small bowl and drizzle with 1/2 tsp melted Coconut oil.
  4. Toss the crunch. Stir the granola until every grain glitters slightly from the oil coating. Note: This creates the hydrophobic layer that keeps it crispy.
  5. Prep the fruit. Wash and dry 1/2 cup Fresh Berries thoroughly. Note: Excess water on the berries will thin out the yogurt.
  6. Layer the base. Spoon half of the conditioned yogurt into the bottom of a glass or jar.
  7. Add the fruit core. Place half of the berries over the yogurt layer.
  8. Repeat the process. Add the remaining yogurt, followed by the rest of the berries.
  9. Finish with texture. Top the parfait with the oil coated granola until the surface is fully covered in golden clusters.
  10. Rest briefly. Let the parfait sit for 2 minutes until the chia seeds begin to soften slightly before enjoying.
