# What You Need:

03 - Drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer.
04 - Add a handful of mixed berries to each glass, distributing evenly.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of cool creamy yogurt against tart sweet berries with that crunch of granola hits every texture craving in one spoonful
  • You can assemble these in under ten minutes but they look like you put serious thought into presentation
  • They are endlessly customizable based on what is in season or what you have in your pantry
02 -
  • The granola will soften as it sits in the yogurt, so if you want maximum crunch, serve immediately or keep the granola separate until right before eating
  • Clear glasses or jars make all the difference here because seeing those colorful layers is half the joy of eating a parfait
  • Frozen berries will release water as they thaw and turn the yogurt watery and sad, so stick to fresh fruit for the best texture and appearance
03 -
  • Room temperature yogurt layers more smoothly than cold straight from the fridge, giving you those picture-perfect stripes
  • Buy berries at peak season and freeze extras on a baking sheet, then use them in smoothies instead of compromising parfait texture
