I have to be honest. Breakfast used to be the meal I skipped the most. But over the years, I have learned that starting the day with a higher protein meal keeps me going longer.
Plus, when you are modeling healthy food choices to growing kids, you have to walk the walk. Our kids love yogurt and fruit in jars, so these cute little parfaits quickly became favorites.
Recently, I made an easy strawberry sauce with honey, and I knew it would be delicious layered with Greek yogurt. Plus, having breakfast ready to go on busy mornings keeps me from reaching for something less filling when I'm short on time.
Why You'll Love Yogurt With Strawberries
- Easy to prep ahead. These jars can be assembled in small Mason jars and stored in the fridge for quick breakfasts all week.
- Simple ingredients. Greek yogurt, fresh fruits, and granola come together in minutes.
- Just the right amount of sweetness. The honey-sweetened strawberries add the perfect touch of sweetness to the tart yogurt.
- Great texture. The mix of creamy, juicy, and crunchy creates a mix of textures in every bite.
Strawberry Parfait Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients you will need to make this yogurt parfait recipe. Scroll down to the recipe card for the full amounts and complete instructions.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: I like to use the Fage 2% yogurt for its tart, tangy flavor. You can use sweetened or regular yogurt. However, flavored yogurts often have added sweeteners and less protein.
- Strawberry Sauce: This homemade fruit topping is made with fresh strawberries, honey, and lime zest. You are welcome to use a store bought fruit sauce or plain diced fruit instead.
- Blueberries: The fresh berries add a sweet pop of flavor and additional vitamins to the breakfast parfait.
- Optional Granola: A handful of honey nut granola or chocolate granola adds sweetness and crunch.
How To Make A Strawberry Yogurt Parfait
These strawberry parfaits work well for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dessert. They are easy to assemble and work well at any time of the day.
- Spoon Greek yogurt into the bottom of an 8-ounce jar or glass, smoothing it out into an even layer. Add a spoonful of strawberry sauce.
- Repeat the layers of yogurt two more times, ending with more yogurt.
Make Ahead and Meal Prep
Assemble the yogurt and strawberry sauce layers in airtight containers in advance. Then store them in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Add the granola right before eating, so it stays crunchy.
If you are taking the parfait with you, pack the granola and extra berries in a separate bag. Add them when you are ready to eat. Pro Tip: Use a larger jar or small bowl so you can stir in the extra toppings later.
Hosting a party or crowd? Set up a toppings bar and let everyone customize a yogurt bowl with their favorite fruits and toppings.
BruCrew Tips and Variations
- Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for its rich flavor and thick texture.
- Boost the protein by stirring 4 servings of vanilla protein powder into the yogurt before layering it.
- Try a different fruit sauce to change things up. We love using blackberry preserves, lemon curd, or cherry preserves.
- Substitute blackberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries for the blueberries.
- Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top for a little extra sweetness.
- Swap the homemade granola for your favorite chopped nuts or grain free granola.
- Drizzle warm peanut butter on top or in between the layers.
