Ingredients

To whip up this beauty, you’ll need a few simple ingredients:

Start with the Base
Grab a bowl and combine your Greek yogurt with the honey or maple syrup. Mix gently until thoroughly combined. This is your creamy delight base.
Add the Chia Seeds
Stir in the chia seeds. These little gems are not just a pretty face—they’ll soak up moisture and create a lovely texture that packs a nutritional punch!

Now for the fun part! Grab a glass (or a bowl, no judgment here), and start layering. Begin with a generous scoop of the yogurt mixture, followed by a handful of your mixed berries. If you aim for Instagram-worthy, make these layers pretty!
Repeat
Repeat the layering process until you’ve used all your ingredients. Don’t be shy—end with a splash of berries on top and a sprinkle of granola for that satisfying crunch.
Serve and Enjoy!
Dive in right away for the freshest flavors, or cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours to let those chia seeds do their thing. Either way, you’re in for a treat!

Cooking Tips for Your Parfait Perfection
