A delicious Yogurt Parfait Recipe recipe that is perfect for the season. Fresh sweet berries piled on creamy Greek yogurt make for a perfect summer breakfast or snack idea.
This tasty fruit and yogurt combination is not only perfect as a hearty breakfast. It also makes a great lunch or between-meal snack. In fact, fruit and yogurt parfaits can even be considered a healthy dessert idea.
Why This Recipe
It can be hard to put a healthy breakfast on the table that doesn’t take a lot of time. These fresh fruit parfaits with yogurt don’t just take a few ingredients, but they also only take a few minutes to make.
For this recipe, I used both strawberries and blueberries to make it a fun Red, White and Blue treat. The result is a creamy and sweet snack.
These parfaits are great to serve as part of a parfait bar. You can mix up the fruit and include raspberries or cherries too! I love serving these in reusable mason jars and wooden spoons.
These are nice for a 4th of July dessert or breakfast idea.

Timesaving Tips to make this perfect every time
- You can clean and destem the fruit ahead of time so it is ready to make when you are.
- If packing this for a picnic or camping trip place fruit in a mason jar by itself (it will keep longer)
pack yogurt, honey, granola all separately. - If you don’t have mason jars or parfait jars, you can use short drinking glasses or clear plastic cups. These parfaits look best when you can see through the sides.
FAQ
