- 1 cupfresh strawberriesdiced
- 2 cupsfresh berriesI use a mix of blackberries raspberries and blueberries—use whatever you have on hand.

Instructions
Instructions
- Wash all fruit and pat completely dry. Remove any stems from berries. Thinly slice the strawberries and leave or halve the other berries as needed so sizes are similar.
- In a bowl, gently toss the diced strawberries (1 cup) and the 2 cups mixed berries together until combined.
- Set out 4 serving glasses or bowls. Divide the 3 cups vanilla yogurt, the mixed fruit (3 cups total), and the 1 cup granola evenly among the 4 glasses.
- Build each parfait by layering: spoon in some yogurt, add a layer of the mixed fruit, sprinkle a layer of granola, then repeat the sequence until the ingredients are used and the glass is filled. End with either a bit of yogurt or a sprinkle of granola on top, as you prefer.
- If you like, drizzle a little honey or pure maple syrup over each finished parfait.
- Serve immediately so the granola stays crisp — assembled parfaits do not store well because the granola will become soggy.
Notes
Recipe Notes
Note 1:
You can easily prep ingredients a day ahead (washing and cutting berries) and making the granola, but assemble the parfaits as close to serving as possible. Otherwise, the granola might get soggy and fruit becomes mushy. Don’t freeze this recipe. It doesn’t thaw well and layers become soggy. That said, you can use frozen berries in this parfait.
