Ingredients
  

For the Parfait
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt thick and creamy; can substitute with low-fat yogurt for a lighter version
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced fresh or frozen; try using blueberries or raspberries for a twist
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened for that cheesecake flavor; low-fat cream cheese works, too
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup natural sweetness; you can also use agave syrup as a vegan option
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for depth of flavor; feel free to use almond extract for a unique spin
  • to taste Granola or crushed graham crackers for topping; use nuts or seeds for a healthier option

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In a glass or parfait cup, layer the yogurt mixture with sliced strawberries.
  3. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
  4. Top with granola or crushed graham crackers.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.

Notes

Avoid using overly ripe strawberries, which can make your parfait soggy. Ensure cream cheese is properly softened for a smoother blend. You can prepare the yogurt mixture a day ahead for quicker assembly in the morning. Use mason jars for a portable breakfast option.
