The Best Greek Yogurt Parfaits

A parfait but make it healthier.  We did just that by using our favorite summer ingredients including bright lemon, juicy berries, protein packed Greek yogurt, and a simple graham cracker crust.  Serve this as a breakfast parfait or a mid afternoon snack when you’re craving something delicious, healthy, and filling. And if you are looking for another yummy yogurt treat – try our Frozen Yogurt Bark!

What You Will Need

• Greek yogurt – We used plain yogurt so that we could control the sweetness with the honey and a full fat variety to provide a thicker consistency. However, feel free to use vanilla greek yogurt or your favorite yogurt variety. 
• lemon zest – Just a bit to add a fresh, summer flavor throughout.
• lemon juice – A bright citrus flavor pairs perfectly with the creamy yogurt and sweet berries.
• honey – Just a bit to add some subtle sweetness.  Feel free to use maple syrup if that’s more convenient.
• graham crackers – A simple way to add texture and flavor throughout. 
• butter – Just a bit to add some moisture to the crust.
• fresh berries – We suggest using fresh blueberries and/or blackberries, but feel free to use your favorite fruit topping. 

How To Make A Greek Yogurt Parfait

Start by gathering and measuring your ingredients.

In a small bowl combine a cup of yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey.  Using a clean spoon, take a taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if you’d like.

Next, make the parfait base layer by adding your crushed up graham crackers and melted butter in a separate bowl and mix to combine.  Divide your graham cracker mixture into two glasses and gently press down to form a crust.

Finally, top the graham cracker crust with the yogurt mixture, berries, and some additional lemon zest.

Take a taste and feel free to add a drizzle of honey on top, if you like your parfaits a bit sweeter.  If you’re going the breakfast or brunch route, serve this parfait with our avocado toast, a bowl of fresh strawberries, and a few of our chocolate chip zucchini muffins.  You can thank us later.
