Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (preferably low-fat or non-fat)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to your taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (fresh options: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries; or use frozen)

1/2 cup granola (opt for low-sugar varieties for a healthier choice)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, but adds a nice touch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

    - In a medium-sized bowl, carefully combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.

      - Use a whisk or spoon to mix the ingredients until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring that the sweetener and vanilla are evenly distributed.

        Prepare the Berries:

          - If using fresh berries, rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel.

            - For frozen berries, allow them to thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once thawed, drain any excess liquid to avoid making the parfait soggy.

              - If desired, lightly mash a portion of the berries with a fork to create a sauce-like consistency that will add flavor depth.

                Layer the Parfait:

                  - Grab your serving glasses or bowls. Start by adding a generous scoop of the yogurt mixture to the bottom of each glass, using about 1/4 cup.

                    Add Berries:

                      - Layer approximately 1/4 cup of mixed berries over the yogurt in each glass, ensuring to distribute them evenly to create vibrant color layers.

                        Add Granola:

                          - Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of granola over the berry layer. This will give each parfait a satisfying crunch.

                            Repeat the Layers:

                              - Continue the layering process by adding more yogurt, followed by berries, and then granola until the glasses are filled to your desired level. Aim for at least two to three layers for a visually appealing presentation.

                                Garnish:

                                  - To finish each parfait, add a few extra berries on top, a light sprinkle of granola for texture, and a fresh mint leaf for a burst of color and flavor.

                                    Chill and Serve:

                                      - If you prefer a chilled treat, cover and refrigerate the parfaits for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

                                        - Serve the parfaits chilled and enjoy the delightful mix of creamy, crunchy, and fruity goodness!
