Ingredient List

Greek Yogurt: Full fat greek yogurt is my first choice when making a parfait. It’s the creamiest yogurt option in my opinion. With that said, you can always chose to sub in a low fat option, use a flavoured yogurt, or lactose free.

Granola: A good granola is typically made up of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, sweeteners, and sometimes dried fruits. Your options are endless when choosing what type of granola to add to your 5-Minute Strawberry Yogurt Parfait. I tend to gravitate towards the lighter variations without all the extras.

Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, locally sourced strawberries are my go-to.

Sweeteners: Maple syrup, honey, mind, my Strawberry Compote, could be a big flavour boost if you’re looking to add some sweetness to this 5-Minute Strawberry Yogurt Parfait.

How to Make A 5-Minute Strawberry Yogurt Parfait

Prepare your fresh strawberries: Before cutting into your strawberries, it’s important to thoroughly wash and clean your fruit. This helps remove dirt, bacteria, pesticides, and unwanted debris. I do this by rinsing my fruit in my colander strainer, then placing them on a dishtowel to let me dry off.

Cut your strawberries: On a cutting board, hull and trim your fresh strawberries and cut them into quarters. If you don’t like big chunks of fruit with your parfait, you can slice them into small cubes.

Prepare your glass: An optional step – if you are adding any sweeteners to your parfait, before adding any yogurt or fruit, drizzles some honey or maple syrup along the inside of your cup or mason jar. This will make sure the sweetener gets evenly coated onto every spoonful.

Build your parfait: Start building your parfait by layering about an inch of yogurt, then strawberries, and finally your granola. Keep building your parfait in layers until you get to the top of your cup, then add a fresh strawberry for garnish!

Tips and Yummy Variations

• Swap out the strawberries for your favourite fresh fruit like blueberries, raspberries, kiwi fruit, banana. The options are endless!

• To make this dairy free you could swap out the yogurt for soy yogurt, cashew yogurt, almond yogurt. Let me know if the comments what you’ve substituted in for yogurt.

• Use homemade granola with your favourite ingredients.

• You can prepare the individual ingredients the day before but I would suggest building the parfaits the day you plan on serving them, unless you don’t mind your granola a little less crunchy.

• Add a swirl of strawberry compote to add a big burst of strawberry flavour. New recipe coming soon!

• Use frozen strawberries if you can’t find a fresh option near you. Fully thaw and strain extra liquid before using.
