How to Make Yogurt Granola Parfait

Step 1: Layer Your Base

Spoon half your yogurt into a bowl or glass 🥄. This isn’t brain surgery, but it *is* the foundation of your happy place. Press gently—we’re building, not demolishing. Think of it as setting the stage for the main event.

Step 2: Build the Drama

Add half your granola on top of the yogurt, then scatter the berries across like you’re creating edible art 🌈. Now layer in the second half of yogurt, smooth it out, and top with the remaining granola and a berry crown moment. Yes, the presentation matters. Your breakfast deserves a red carpet. ✨

Step 3: Drizzle and Finish

Pour honey or maple syrup over the top—it ties everything together like a hug in liquid form 🍯. Finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt; it makes the whole thing *sing* in ways you didn’t know were possible. Taste it. Smile. You did this in under five minutes.

Recipe Variations & Tips
