Chef's Note

For an extra special touch, try infusing the yogurt with a small amount of orange blossom water or rose water (just 1/4 teaspoon) for a subtle aromatic flavor. You can also prepare the parfaits the night before for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack, though I recommend adding the final garnishes just before serving to maintain their visual appeal.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (or stevia)

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 10 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
  • 1

    In a medium bowl, combine 2.5 cups of Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Stir until well combined and smooth.

  • 2

    Toast 1/2 cup of sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

  • 3

    In a small bowl, mix the toasted almonds with 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

  • 4

    Gently wash all berries and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the strawberries into thin pieces.

  • 5

    In 5 clear serving glasses or jars, begin layering by adding 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to the bottom of each container.

  • 6

    Add a layer of mixed berries (about 2 tablespoons per container), dividing them evenly among the servings.

  • 7

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the almond-chia mixture over the berries in each container.

  • 8

    Repeat the layers: yogurt, berries, and almond mixture until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

  • 9

    Garnish each parfait with a few fresh berries, a sprinkle of the remaining almond-chia mixture, and a small mint leaf.

  • 10

    For best flavor development, refrigerate the parfaits for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
