Ingredients

• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup granola
• 1/2 cup mixed berries
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp almonds

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a tall glass, spread 1 cup of Greek yogurt as the base layer, using the back of a spoon to smooth it into an even, flat surface that covers the bottom of the glass. Tip: Use a spoon to spread the yogurt evenly to create a stable base that won’t shift when adding other layers.
2. Step 2: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granola over the yogurt, distributing it in a thin, even layer by gently shaking the glass or using a spatula to spread it. Tip: Avoid pressing the granola too firmly — it should remain slightly crunchy and not become compressed.
3. Step 3: Add 1/2 cup of mixed berries on top of the granola, arranging them in a single layer and pressing gently to nestle them into the granola. Tip: Press the berries gently into the granola to help them adhere without bruising the fruit.
4. Step 4: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey in a zigzag pattern over the berries, allowing it to seep slightly into the fruit and granola. Tip: Drizzle honey slowly in a zigzag motion to ensure even distribution and prevent it from pooling in one area.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of almonds evenly over the honey, using your fingers to distribute them so each piece is visible and evenly spaced. Tip: Use slivered almonds for a more even topping, or chop whole almonds into small pieces if slivered aren’t available.
6. Step 6: (Optional) For best results, refrigerate the parfait for 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the yogurt to firm up slightly. Tip: If serving immediately, avoid disturbing the layers to maintain their structure.
