Chef's Note

For an extra boost of flavor and nutrition, try soaking the chia seeds in unsweetened coconut water instead of plain water. The subtle sweetness complements the berries beautifully while adding electrolytes. You can also prepare the components separately up to 2 days in advance and assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

  • 1 cup granola (low-sugar variety)

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder (vanilla)

Instructions
  • 1

    In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups of Greek yogurt with 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

  • 2

    Gradually fold in 1/2 cup of vanilla whey protein powder into the yogurt mixture, ensuring there are no lumps. This will boost the protein content while maintaining a smooth texture.

  • 3

    In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of chia seeds with 1/2 cup of water. Let sit for 10 minutes until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a gel-like consistency.

  • 4

    While the chia seeds are soaking, prepare the berry mixture by combining 1 cup each of sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and gently toss to combine.

  • 5

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

  • 6

    In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of low-sugar granola with the toasted almonds and 1/4 cup of hemp seeds.

  • 7

    Fold the soaked chia seed mixture into the yogurt mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.

  • 8

    To assemble each parfait: In a serving glass or bowl, layer 1/4 of the yogurt mixture, followed by 1/4 of the berry mixture, then 1/4 of the granola mixture. Repeat with another layer of yogurt and berries.

  • 9

    Top each parfait with a final sprinkle of the granola mixture and a few fresh berries for garnish.

  • 10

    For best flavor development, refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 15 minutes before serving.
