• 2 cups (approx. 480g) Plain Greek Yogurt: Thick, creamy, and packed with protein. You can also use regular plain yogurt or a vanilla-flavored yogurt if you prefer a sweeter base, though Greek yogurt offers the best texture and tang.
• 1 cup (approx. 100g) Granola: Your favorite kind! Whether it’s store-bought honey almond, a homemade oat and nut blend, or a gluten-free option, this adds essential crunch and fiber.
• 1.5 cups (approx. 225g) Mixed Fresh Berries: A combination of strawberries (sliced or diced), blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries provides a burst of color, vitamins, and natural sweetness. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained.
• 2-4 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup (optional): To drizzle over the yogurt layers if you prefer a sweeter parfait, especially if using plain, unsweetened yogurt. Adjust to your taste.
• Optional Toppings (as desired): Chopped Nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans): For extra crunch and healthy fats.
• Seeds (e.g., chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds): For added fiber and nutrients.
• Shredded Coconut: For a tropical twist.
• Mini Chocolate Chips: For a touch of indulgence.
• A sprinkle of Cinnamon or Nutmeg: For warmth and flavor.
• Fruit Compote or Jam: For an extra layer of fruity sweetness.
