Instructions

  • If using large fruit (peaches, large strawberries, etc.), dice it so the pieces are bite-sized; have any optional mix‑ins and sweetener ready.
  • Place two clean jars or similar containers on your work surface.
  • Divide the 1 ¾ cups yogurt evenly between the two jars and spoon an initial layer of yogurt into the bottom of each jar.
  • Divide the 2 cups fruit evenly between the jars and add a layer of fruit on top of the yogurt in each jar.
  • Divide the ½ cup granola between the jars and sprinkle some granola over the fruit in each jar.
  • If using any optional mix‑ins (chia seeds, nuts, coconut flakes, cinnamon), add some now to each jar.
  • Repeat the sequence—yogurt, fruit, granola, and optional mix‑ins—until you have used the ingredients or reached the desired height of layers.
  • Finish each jar with a sprinkle of the remaining granola and a drizzle of sweetener (honey or maple syrup), if using.
  • Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes

Nutritional information is calculated with yogurt, mixed berries, and granola.
TO STORE: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. If you’re making yogurt parfaits for meal prep, you may want to add the granola just before serving.
