🥘 Ingredients
Vanilla Yogurt: A creamy base that complements the fruit and granola. I like to use nonfat Greek yogurt, but feel free to use your favorite!
Strawberries & Blueberries: Fresh fruits that add natural sweetness and color. If you still have some berries leftover, be sure to try them in our Strawberry Blueberry Pancakes too.
Granola: Adds a crunchy texture that contrasts nicely with the yogurt and berries. I don't usually keep granola on hand, so I actually just mix ½ cup of oats with ½ teaspoon of vanilla and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and bake at 325°F for 15 minutes (stirring midway).

🧾 Substitutions
Greek Yogurt: If you prefer a dairy-free option, try coconut or almond milk yogurt for a similar creamy texture.
Granola: Swap out for crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts for a lower-sugar alternative.
📖 Variations
This parfait is incredibly versatile! You can swap out the fruits based on what's in season or on sale. Try using raspberries, blackberries, or even sliced bananas.
For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with your favorite plant-based yogurt.

🍴 Recipe Tips
- If you're preparing this ahead of time, be sure to layer the yogurt and fruit separately from the granola to maintain the perfect crunch.
- For a nicer presentation, serve this parfait in clear glass jars or small cups to show off the beautiful layers.
- Make sure to store the parfaits in the fridge for up to a day for the best texture.
⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions
This parfait can easily be prepared ahead of time. Simply layer the yogurt and fruit, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Keep the granola on the side and add it just before serving to keep it crunchy.
👩🏻🍳 Storage
Store any leftover parfaits in the fridge for up to 2 days, but be aware that the granola will soften over time. For best results, store the parfait components (yogurt, fruit, granola) separately, and combine them when ready to enjoy.
🥣 Recipe Add-Ins
Looking to switch things up? Try adding a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter to the yogurt for a boost of protein and flavor. You can also add white chocolate chips for extra fun.
💭 Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can! Frozen berries work just as well, and they can add a nice chill to your parfait. Just be sure to thaw them and drain any excess moisture before layering.
Absolutely! You can substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk-based yogurt to make it dairy-free. This will give it a different flavor profile, but it will still be delicious.
A Strawberry Blueberry Parfait can last in the fridge for up to 2 days if stored properly. However, the granola will lose its crunch after a few hours, so it's best to store it separately and add it just before serving.
