Chef's Note
For the best texture and flavor, layer your parfait just before eating. If preparing in advance, keep the nuts and seeds separate until serving to maintain their crunch. You can also substitute the honey with monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-carb option without sacrificing sweetness.

3 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix 3 cups of Greek yogurt with 3 scoops of vanilla protein powder until well combined.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the yogurt mixture and stir well.
- 3
Toast 1/4 cup of almonds and 1/4 cup of walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of flaxseed meal together.
- 5
Wash and prepare all berries: slice 1 cup of strawberries and keep 1 cup each of blueberries and raspberries whole.
- 6
In three serving glasses or bowls, begin layering by placing 1/3 of the yogurt mixture at the bottom of each container.
- 7
Add a layer of mixed berries (about 1/3 of the total) divided equally among the three containers.
- 8
Sprinkle 1/3 of the nut mixture and 1/3 of the seed mixture over the berries in each container.
- 9
Repeat the layering process: add another 1/3 of the yogurt mixture to each container, followed by another 1/3 of the berries, and another 1/3 of the nuts and seeds.
- 10
Complete with a final layer of the remaining yogurt, berries, nuts, and seeds.
- 11
Drizzle each parfait with 2 teaspoons of honey (about 2 tablespoons total divided among the three servings).
- 12
For best results, refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
