Ingredients

• 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt, divided
• 1 cup granola, divided
• 4 tablespoons honey, divided
• 1 cup fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• 3 tablespoons Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder in French Vanilla

Instructions

2. Step 2: Spread ½ cup of vanilla Greek yogurt onto the bottom of two glasses or small bowls.
3. Step 3: Top each with ¼ cup granola, followed by 1 tablespoon honey and ¼ cup of the mixed berry and powder mixture.
4. Step 4: Repeat the layers in each glass by adding another ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup granola, 1 tablespoon honey, and the remaining berry mixture.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, toast the granola lightly before layering.
• Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for a dairy-free option.
• Add a sprinkle of chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrition.
• Use seasonal fruits to vary the flavor throughout the year.

Storage

Prepare the parfaits fresh for the best texture. If needed, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Stir gently before serving, as the granola may soften. Honey can be drizzled fresh just before enjoying to preserve its flavor.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of yogurt besides vanilla Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can use plain Greek yogurt or flavored yogurts, but vanilla adds a nice sweetness that complements the honey and berries.

What can I substitute for Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder?

If you don’t have this powder, you can omit it or use a vanilla protein powder or powdered milk to add a similar creamy flavor and nutrition boost.

Instructions

1. Prepare berry mixture: In a medium bowl, gently combine the fresh mixed berries with the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder in French Vanilla powder. This enhances the berries with a creamy flavor and added nutrition. Set this bowl aside to let the flavors meld.
2. First layer of yogurt: Spread half a cup (½ cup) of vanilla Greek yogurt evenly onto the bottom of two glasses or small bowls. This smooth base forms the foundation of your parfait.
3. Add granola and berries: On top of the yogurt, add a quarter cup (¼ cup) of granola for crunch, followed by one tablespoon (1 tbsp) of honey drizzled evenly over it. Then, add a quarter cup (¼ cup) of the prepared mixed berry and protein powder mixture as the fruity and flavorful layer.
4. Repeat layering: Repeat the layering process by adding another ½ cup of yogurt on top, then ¼ cup granola, 1 tablespoon honey, and ¼ cup of the berry mixture in each glass. This double layering creates a delightful taste and textural contrast with every bite.
5. Serve immediately: Once assembled, serve the parfaits immediately to enjoy the freshest textures. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 1-2 hours to chill slightly before serving, but consume within the day for best flavor and texture.

Notes

• Use fresh berries for the best flavor; frozen berries can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid before combining with the protein powder.
• Substitute granola with nuts or seeds for a different texture or to reduce added sugars.
• The Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder adds extra protein and vitamins, making the parfait more filling and nutritious.
• Honey can be adjusted to taste or replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar for variations in sweetness.
• Prepare the parfait just before serving to maintain the granola’s crunchiness.
