A quick and easy high-protein Greek yogurt parfait layered with fresh berries, chia seeds, toasted nuts, and a touch of natural sweetness, perfect for a nourishing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons toasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (245g) of Greek yogurt with 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix the flavors without breaking down the texture.
  2. Rinse 1 cup (about 150g) of fresh berries under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Toss the berries lightly with a pinch of lemon zest if using.
  3. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts and toast for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
  4. In a serving glass or bowl, layer a couple of spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture, then add a layer of berries, followed by a sprinkle of chia seeds and toasted nuts. Repeat the layers until ingredients are used, finishing with a berry and nut topping.
  5. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup over the top if desired.
  6. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the chia seeds soften and flavors meld. Stir gently before serving.

Notes

Pat berries dry to avoid watery parfait. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning. Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Add sweetener optionally. Nuts can be swapped for gluten-free granola or seeds for allergies. Serve immediately for crunch or chill up to 2 hours for softened chia seeds.
