Ingredients

2¾ cups vanilla yogurt or plain Greek yogurt (320g)
1 pound fresh strawberries chopped (450g)
6 ounces fresh blueberries (168g)
1 cup granola

Instructions

In a glass or jar, layer about ⅓ cup of yogurt, a few spoonfuls of strawberries and blueberries, and 2 tablespoons of granola. Repeat the layers.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with additional granola, if desired.

Notes

Cut the larger fruit. Before layering the fruit parfait, chop the strawberries or other larger fruits into small pieces. Large fruits like peaches, plums, mango, and pineapple are all great options that should be chopped or cut into smaller pieces. Fruits like blueberries and raspberries are small enough to just add whole.
Use different fruits. Strawberries and blueberries are delicious, but feel free to use your favorite fruit or whatever fruit is in season. Blackberries, raspberries, sliced bananas, pitted cherries, and chopped pineapple, mango, or apples would all be delightful!
Add sweetness. If you need extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a few chocolate chips. You can mix the honey with the yogurt before layering the homemade yogurt parfaits, or simply add it at the very end.
For more texture: Chopped nuts add extra crunch to a berry parfait. Stir them into the granola, or sprinkle them in with the fruit.
For jammy fruit layers, lightly mash the fresh fruit with a tablespoon of sugar or honey and let sit for 10 minutes. Or, add a few dollops of a fruit preserve, like strawberry jam, in with the fruit for each layer.
