Chef's Note

For an extra flavor dimension, try toasting the walnuts with a touch of maple syrup and sea salt before adding them to your parfait. This creates a sweet-savory element that beautifully complements the tangy yogurt. You can also prepare the components ahead of time and store them separately for quick assembly throughout the week.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)

  • 4 tablespoons honey

  • 1 cup walnuts

  • 2 cups fresh berries (mixed strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1 cup granola (low-sugar variety)

  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 4 tablespoons flaxseed meal

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 4 scoops whey protein powder (vanilla)

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
  • 1

    Toast 1 cup of walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

  • 2

    Roughly chop the cooled walnuts, reserving a few whole pieces for garnish.

  • 3

    In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups of Greek yogurt with 4 scoops of whey protein powder, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

  • 4

    Wash 2 cups of mixed berries and slice any larger strawberries into bite-sized pieces.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of chia seeds with 4 tablespoons of flaxseed meal.

  • 6

    To assemble each parfait, start with a layer of the yogurt mixture (about 1/2 cup) at the bottom of each serving glass.

  • 7

    Add a layer of mixed berries (about 1/4 cup) on top of the yogurt.

  • 8

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the chia-flaxseed mixture over the berries.

  • 9

    Add a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons) and chopped walnuts (about 1 1/2 tablespoons).

  • 10

    Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the nuts and granola.

  • 11

    Repeat the layers once more, ending with a small dollop of yogurt on top.

  • 12

    Garnish each parfait with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few reserved whole walnuts, fresh berries, and a light sprinkle of lemon zest.

  • 13

    For best flavor development, refrigerate the parfaits for at least 10 minutes before serving.
