Yogurt Parfait | Fruit and Granola
This Greek yogurt parfait is a delicious blend of vanilla yogurt, juicy strawberries and cherries, and crunchy granola for the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Whether enjoyed as a refreshing breakfast or a protein-packed snack, it’s a simple yet satisfying treat for any time of day!
Of course, you can use whatever yogurt you like but if you haven’t tried Wallaby yogurt, you are in for a treat. What I love about this vanilla bean Greek yogurt is how tasty it is. It is also a mellow and creamy yogurt. It’s almost like it has been whipped.
Then add layers of fruit and granola between the tasty yogurt and you have a winning and satisfying taste breakfast or dessert.

Helpful tips
- I love creamy Greek yogurt, but if you can’t find the Wallaby brand, then use what you like or even a smooth regular vanilla yogurt. You can also use regular yogurt if you want the granola and fruit to shine!
- If you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt, you can use plain yogurt if you want but the layers might be a little less obvious because of how thin it is compared to Greek style.
- Use a granola that won’t be overpowering, such as vanilla chocolate chip (pictured).
- If you have a favorite homemade granola recipe, you can use that instead of store bought.
- I love the combination of strawberries and cherries together, but use whichever fresh berries you prefer, like fresh raspberries and blueberries.
- Other ingredients that taste delicious in a parfait: bananas, peaches, mango, nuts, coconut, mini chocolate chips, peanut butter, drizzled maple syrup, honey, and chia seeds.
- Use organic fruit whenever you can because there is a taste difference.
- That said, always wash fruit thoroughly, even organic fruit.
- I find two layers of all the ingredients is a healthy amount, but you could do this parfait in three layers if you keep the layers thinner.
- Use a nice glass to house the yogurt parfait since we eat with our eyes as well as our mouths.
- You can use any combination of fruit but I like to use contrasting colors.

I will be saving this breakfast idea for next week. I have already been to the grocery store this week, but I will be starting my days with this very soon.
Thanks Jacque! It is so delicious!!
This looks delicious! I’m searching for a recipe that I can make in lil disposable shot glasses (with a mini spoon) for a brunch soon. Your recipe fits the bill! Can this be made in advance or will the granola get soggy? Will it hold up for a few hours? Any other tips or thoughts that might help? Thank you in advance.
Great idea, Faye. I think the granola will be fine for a few hours. I use a really hearty brand of granola that I get at whole foods and that holds up really well! It has lots of clumps in it, which I think helps. I’d also try not to pack the yogurt on the granola so it has less of a chance to get soggy. Good luck and have a great brunch!
