Strawberry Yogurt Parfait Ingredients
This strawberry yogurt parfait it truly, truly easy—take a look at the ingredients list for a sneak peek at just how easy.
- Fresh strawberries– I love using the freshest strawberries for this yogurt parfait. I wouldn’t recommend using frozen strawberries as they tend to get soggy when thawing. But if you’re in a pinch, and don’t care about the soggy texture, have at it!
- Vanilla yogurt– you can use any kind of vanilla yogurt you’d like. If you try a plain yogurt, you might want to sprinkle a little sweetener on top to diffuse some of its innate tartness.
- Granola– lately, I’ve been sprinkling this hemp granola on everything, and today’s strawberry parfait is no exception. You can also use a store-bought granola that’s a favorite of yours, as the flavor of the granola is very present in this parfait. These same ingredients can also be used to make 3 Ingredient Strawberry Yogurt Bites.
How to Make a Strawberry Yogurt Parfait with Granola
Ingredient
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt of choice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of choice, optional
- 3 tablespoons granola
Instructions
- Set aside 1 glass jar or cup.
- Spoon 1/3 cup yogurt into the bottom of the jar, creating an even, smooth layer.
- Sprinkle sliced strawberries over the yogurt, creating a single or double layer, depending on the size of your jar.
- Optionally, sprinkle granulated monkfruit or sweetener of choice over the berries. Add more to sweeten tart fruit, less if the fruit is already very sweet or you like your parfait on the less sweet side.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of your favorite granola over the sweetened fruit layer. I like baking up a fresh batch of low calorie granola or gluten free granolafor my strawberry parfaits.
- Repeat this sequence twice more.
- Serve and enjoy!
Essential Note
If you are preparing the parfait ahead of time, keep the granola separate until serving. This prevents it from becoming soft and keeps every bite crunchy.
Easy Variations
- High-protein: Use plain Greek yogurt and add extra nuts or seeds.
- Lower sugar: Use unsweetened yogurt and skip the honey.
- Chocolate: Add a few dark chocolate chips between the layers.
- Banana strawberry: Add thin banana slices with the strawberries.
- Overnight parfait: Assemble in a covered jar and refrigerate overnight, adding granola just before eating.
