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.

2.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (or stevia)
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

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

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

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