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. 

Recipe FAQs

• gluten-free: To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers.
• make ahead: Feel free to make the Greek yogurt mixture a day ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.  We wouldn’t recommend making the graham cracker mixture ahead of time as it may get soggy.
• granola: If you like some crunch, add our favorite granola on top for a crunchy topping.
