what you will need
Ingredient Notes
- strawberry Fresh, ripe strawberries offer the best taste. Look for those that are deep red in color, firm but not hard, with no bruises or soft spots.
- Granola- You can use any brand you like or even make your own.
- Yogurt- Plain, full-fat yogurt works best for its richness and tangy flavor.
Add-Ins and Substitutions
- Substitute other fruits- Try this recipe with other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, pineapple, kiwi or melon.
- Use maple syrup. You can use maple syrup instead of honey if you like. It tastes more like maple, but sweetens just as well.
- Substitute for flavored yogurt – Instead of plain yogurt, you can use any number of flavored yogurts, including vanilla. Just adjust your honey to avoid over-sweetening. You can also substitute non-dairy yogurt or low-fat yogurt.
- add whipped cream- Make it more of a dessert by adding whipped cream or substituting it for the yogurt. Use store-bought or this homemade chantilly cream.
How to make strawberry parfade
- Chop the fruit. Cut the fresh strawberries into small pieces.
- Mix together yoghurt and honey. Then mix the Greek natural yoghurt thoroughly with the honey.
Pro tip: Always do a taste test. Taste the yogurt and honey mixture to see if it needs more honey or is sweet enough. Every taste is different.
- Assemble the parfait. Now start by layering the parfait in a small glass mug or mason jar, using 1/4 cup of each ingredient and repeating until the jar is full. You can layer it in any order, but this is how I layered it: yogurt, granola, and strawberries. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
recipe tips
- Cut the strawberries evenly and into small pieces. Make sure your strawberry pieces are small enough that they fit easily in the glass and fit into a spoon without crushing the bite.
- Use fresh fruit. This parfait tastes best when fresh fruit is used. Avoid canned fruit, which usually contains a syrup and is mushy, and frozen fruit, which thaws mushy.
- Check the sweetness level. If you like your yogurt sweet, you can add more honey. On the other hand, if you prefer it spicy, use less. Do a taste test to make sure it’s what you want.
- Adjust according to glass size- Depending on the size of the jar, you may need to use more than 1/4 cup of each ingredient per layer when assembling your parfait.
FAQs
A parfait is a mixture of ingredients layered in tall parfait glasses. This can be done with ice cream and toppings like graham cracker crumbs, yogurt and fruit, or with chocolate mousse or pudding. This strawberry parfait layers granola, strawberries, and honey-sweetened yogurt.
A parfait can make a great, healthy breakfast of fresh fruit, unsweetened Greek yogurt, and granola. These provide protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals that are good for you. The only downside is that it contains sugar. So if you are diabetic or need to avoid sugar (even natural sugar), eat this parfait in moderation.
serving suggestions
This flavorful strawberry parfait is the perfect breakfast in its own right. However, if you want to make it a part of your breakfast or brunch spread, there are many dishes that go well with it.
- proteins: Serve alongside Eggs Benedict, Crispy Air Fryer Bacon, Quiche Lorraine, or homemade cookies and sausage gravy.
- pancakes: Pair this strawberry yogurt parfait with blueberry ricotta pancakes, German pancakes (VIDEO), buttermilk pancakes, or almond flour pancakes (gluten-free).
- Smoothies: Enjoy this parfait with a refreshing smoothie like this Mango Smoothie, Mandarin Banana Smoothie or Blueberry Smoothie Bowl.
- Beverages: Serve it with a gourmet homemade coffee, like this Caramel Frappuccino (Starbucks Copycat) and Iced Caramel Macchiato, or with a tea, like this Brown Sugar Boba.
Make this recipe ahead of time
Go on: Prepare this parfait in advance by chopping the strawberries and mixing the honey with the yogurt. Store them separately in the fridge for a day or two before assembling the parfait.
storage: Store this strawberry parfait in a jar or container with a lid for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the longer the muesli sits, the softer it will become.
Freeze: The muesli can be frozen in a ziplock bag for up to 6 months. But the strawberries freeze and thaw mushy and the yogurt becomes grainy. Therefore, it is best to prepare these parfaits fresh.
