Summer is practically synonymous with berries. From the juicy sweetness of strawberries to the tangy burst of raspberries, these little gems are just begging to be showcased in something delicious. And what better way to celebrate them than with a simple, elegant parfait? These Summer Berry Parfaits with Granola and Yogurt are not only incredibly easy to whip up, but they’re also a delightful treat for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. Honestly, sometimes I make one just because I need a little pick-me-up in the afternoon. Don’t judge!
What I particularly adore about this recipe is its adaptability. Feel free to swap out the berries for your favorites, use different types of yogurt (Greek yogurt adds a lovely tang!), or even make your own granola for that extra personal touch. It’s a fantastic way to get creative in the kitchen, and a perfect no-bake option for those hot summer days when turning on the oven sounds like a form of torture. Imagine it a blank canvas for your taste buds, waiting to be painted with deliciousness. So, gather your ingredients, grab a few pretty glasses, and let’s dive into this berrylicious adventure!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Berries: Gently wash and dry your berries. If using large strawberries, slice them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Layer Yogurt: In each mason jar or glass, spoon a layer of yogurt at the bottom. You want about 1/4 of the jar filled. Pro-tip: I find using a piping bag (even a makeshift one made from a Ziploc) makes layering so much cleaner, though it's totally optional!
- Add Granola: Sprinkle a generous layer of granola over the yogurt. The amount depends on your preference, but aim for about 2-3 tablespoons per layer.
- Layer Berries: Arrange a layer of mixed berries over the granola. I like to press them down slightly to nestle them in. Aren't they just gorgeous?
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers of yogurt, granola, and berries until you reach the top of the jar. Be sure to leave a little room at the top to prevent overflowing.
- Drizzle with Honey (Optional): If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over the top layer of berries for added sweetness. Some might like it, some might not – that's the beauty of personal preference!
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a few extra berries, a sprinkle of granola, or a sprig of mint. Serve immediately, or chill for later. I love how the colors pop!
📝 Notes
- For a tangier flavor, use Greek yogurt.
