A Blueberry Yogurt Parfait is a tasty, healthy treat made with fresh blueberries, creamy yogurt, and crunchy granola. It’s perfect for breakfast or a quick snack that looks and tastes wonderful.
I like to layer mine in a clear glass so I can see all the pretty colors. Sometimes I sprinkle a little honey on top for extra sweetness!
For a quick tip, I keep extra berries and yogurt on hand so I can make one anytime. It’s simple, colorful, and gives me a boost of energy whenever I need it.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries add natural sweetness and a pop of color. I recommend picking firm, ripe berries for the best flavor. Frozen blueberries work well too—just thaw and drain excess juice to avoid soggy layers.
Greek yogurt: Thick and creamy, Greek yogurt provides protein and makes the parfait filling. For a dairy-free version, try coconut or almond-based yogurt. Keep it chilled; I like to use plain for a tangy balance.
Honey or maple syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness. Personal tip: a little goes a long way. If you prefer it less sweet, skip it altogether, or use agave nectar as a substitute.
Granola: Offers crunch and texture. Choose your favorite flavor—nutty, fruity, or plain. To keep it healthier, select low-sugar granola or make your own with oats and nuts.
Fresh mint (optional): For a fresh, herbal note. A few leaves finely chopped add brightness. If mint isn’t available, basil is a nice substitute, or skip it altogether for simpler flavor.
How do I layer the parfait without it tipping over?
Use a tall glass or clear jar so you can see the layers. Start with a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom, then add blueberries, granola, and repeat. Gently tap the glass on the counter to settle each layer, and don’t overfill to prevent spills.
