Let’s Make it together
Gather all your ingredients because we’re about to embark on a delicious journey to make this Spring Berry Parfait!
Prepare Your Base: Start by scooping about one cup of Greek yogurt into a large mixing bowl. If you’re using plain yogurt, feel free to sweeten it with honey or maple syrup until you achieve your desired taste.
Layer the Berries: Rinse your strawberries and blueberries under cool running water. Slice the strawberries into thick rounds while keeping the blueberries whole for that pop of freshness.
Create Layers of Flavor: In tall glasses or bowls (the more transparent, the better), begin layering your ingredients. Start with a generous spoonful of yogurt followed by a layer of sliced strawberries.
Add Texture with Granola: Sprinkle a layer of granola over the strawberries to introduce crunchiness. This will create an exciting contrast against the creamy yogurt.
Finish Strong with More Berries!: Top off your masterpiece with another dollop of yogurt followed by blueberries and another drizzle of honey if you’re feeling fancy.
Serve Immediately!: These parfaits are best enjoyed right away while the granola remains crispy! Grab a spoon and dig in!
Now you’ve created an Instagram-ready masterpiece that’s as tasty as it is beautiful! Enjoy every bite while basking in the glory of your culinary creation—your taste buds will thank you!
