Ingredients

All you need for this Tasty Chick Fil A Greek Yogurt Parfait Recipe are a few fresh staples! But first, gather up these ingredients:

• Plain Greek Yogurt: This is our protein-packed base; it’s thick, tangy, and creates that ultra-creamy foundation we’re looking for.
• Honey: Adds a touch of natural sweetness that perfectly balances the tartness of the yogurt.
• Vanilla Extract: The secret ingredient for that “bakery-style” aroma and depth of flavor.
• Fresh Strawberries: Provide a beautiful bright color and a sweet, juicy bite.
• Fresh Blueberries: These little flavor bombs add a nice pop of tartness and are loaded with antioxidants.
• Granola: Gives us that essential, crave-worthy crunch that makes a parfait a parfait.
• Sliced Almonds: Totally optional, but highly recommended if you want an extra layer of nutty texture on top!

How to Make the Recipe

Step 1: Sweeten the Base

In a medium bowl, combine your Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir until it’s perfectly smooth, creamy, and smells like a dream.

Step 2: Prep the Berries

Wash and prepare your strawberries and blueberries. Slice those strawberries into bite-sized pieces so you get a bit of fruit in every single spoonful.

Step 3: Start the Layers

Grab your favorite serving glasses or bowls. Add a generous layer of that sweetened, vanilla-infused Greek yogurt right at the bottom.

Step 4: Add the Crunch

Sprinkle an even layer of granola over the yogurt. This creates a wonderful little “divider” between the creamy and fruity layers.

Step 5: The Berry Burst

Add a layer of those vibrant strawberries and blueberries. It’s starting to look beautiful already!

Step 6: Repeat and Finish

Keep the layers going until your glass is full! I like to finish with a crown of fresh fruit and one last light sprinkle of granola for that professional look.

Step 7: Final Garnish

If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with some sliced almonds. It adds a lovely toasted flavor and even more crunch.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

You can dive in immediately while the granola is at its maximum crunchiness, or pop it in the fridge for up to 2 hours if you prefer it chilled and refreshing.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Layer Like a Pro: To keep your granola from getting soggy too quickly, try to place it between the yogurt and the fruit, or wait to add the top layer of granola until the very second you’re ready to eat!
• Quality Matters: Since this recipe is so simple, using high-quality vanilla extract and the freshest berries you can find really makes the flavors sing.
• Thick is Best: Use a full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for the most “luscious” mouthfeel—it makes the parfait feel much more like a treat than a chore.

How to Serve

Here is how you can serve this fresh and light parfait:

• Breakfast Style: Serve it in a tall clear glass so you can see all those beautiful layers—it makes the meal feel like a luxury!
• Meal Prep Jars: Layer these into wide-mouth mason jars for an easy “grab-and-go” option during the week.
• Party Style: If you’re hosting brunch, set up a “Parfait Bar” with bowls of different berries and nuts so everyone can build their own.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Because of the fresh fruit and yogurt, these are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store a pre-assembled parfait in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just note that the granola will soften the longer it sits!

Freezing

I don’t recommend freezing the assembled parfait, as the texture of the yogurt and berries will change significantly once thawed.

Reheating

No reheating needed here! This is a “keep it cool” kind of dish. If you’ve prepped the yogurt base ahead of time, just give it a quick stir before layering.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh? While fresh berries provide the best texture and “pop,” you can use thawed frozen berries in a pinch. Just be aware that they might release a bit of juice, which can swirl into the yogurt (it still tastes delicious, but it won’t look as neat!).

2. Is there a way to make this dairy-free? Absolutely! You can swap the Greek yogurt for your favorite dairy-free alternative, like coconut or almond milk yogurt. Just make sure it has a thick consistency so those layers stay separated and beautiful.

3. What kind of granola works best? I personally love a honey-oat or a vanilla-nut granola to complement the flavors of the parfait. If you want to keep it closer to the original Chick-fil-A version, look for a simple, crunchy oat granola without too many dried fruits.

4. How can I make this even higher in protein? If you want a massive protein boost, you can actually stir a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the Greek yogurt along with the honey and vanilla. It keeps you full even longer and tastes like cake batter!
