Strawberry Yoghurt Parfaits

When you are looking for a relatively healthy breakfast that is quick and easy to make, try this simple strawberry yoghurt parfait that is tasty and so filling.

Perfect for busy mornings!

What are Parfaits?

A parfait is a layered dish that can be enjoyed either as a dessert or a breakfast. It typically features alternating layers of yogurt or whipped cream and fruit.

When prepared with sweeter ingredients, it is considered a dessert; when made with less sugar, healthier components, and often a crunchy element like granola, it is more commonly enjoyed as a nutritious breakfast.

Parfaits are usually served in a clear glass, allowing the distinct layers to be visually displayed.

Parfait Variations

Here are some different variations that could be used to suit you and your families tastes.

Use plain yoghurt instead of vanilla Greek yoghurt. To make plain yoghurt slightly sweeter, add 1 TBSP honey and 1 tsp vanilla into the 2 cups of plain yoghurt.
Use crushed nuts instead of granola
Try using chopped peaches or nectarines instead of strawberries
Make a berry yoghurt parfait by using a mixture of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries
For a slightly sweeter taste, toss the berries with a small amount of caster sugar or icing mixture before adding to the parfait
Try using cookie crumbles such as digestive biscuits crumbed, instead of the granola
Instead of the strawberry layer, try using lemon curd
Use a different type of yoghurt, such as coconut yoghurt

Ingredients for Making Strawberry Yoghurt Parfaits

To make 4 parfaits, you will need:

2 Cups Vanilla Greek Yoghurt
2 Cups Fresh Strawberries, Washed and Chopped
1 Cup Granola

Making Strawberry Yoghurt Parfaits

Line up four serving glasses on the bench.

Spoon a layer of yoghurt into the bottom of each glass.

Washed and chop up the strawberries.

Add a layer of strawberries on top of the yoghurt.

Next, add a layer of granola.

Keep repeating the layers – yoghurt, strawberries and granola – until the glasses are filled.

Best served immediately, though they can be refrigerated until ready to enjoy. I would only recommend them to be made 2 hours at the most in advance.
