Equipment
- 4 mason jars or cups
- Small mixing bowl
- Spoon for layering like a queen
- Zester or grater
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt the thick good stuff
- 1 ½ cups raspberries fresh or frozen — whatever's on sale
- 2 tbsp lemon juice bottled is fine, no shame
- 1 tbsp lemon zest this is where it gets fancy
- 2-3 tbsp honey or maple syrup if you're feeling earthy
- 1 cup granola homemade, store-bought, whatever makes you happy
Instructions
- Mix Your Yogurt SituationTake that yogurt and fold in the lemon zest. Not too crazy — just enough to make it lemony and gorgeous. Taste it and add honey if you want it sweeter. This is YOUR parfait, babe.
- Raspberry Prep (The Fun Part)Here's my secret: mash up half the raspberries with that lemon juice. Creates this chunky, saucy situation that's way better than anything you can buy. Keep the other half whole for texture.
- Layer Like You Mean ItGrab whatever jars or glasses you have (mason jars are cute but coffee mugs work too — no judgment).Start with yogurt on the bottom, add some mashed raspberry situation, sprinkle granola, repeat. Keep going until you run out of room or ingredients, whatever happens first.Top with whole raspberries and maybe extra granola if you're feeling extra.
Notes
- Want it vegan? Use coconut yogurt + maple syrup.
- No granola? Crushed nuts or oats work in a pinch.
- Too tart? Add more honey or use vanilla yogurt instead of plain.
- Granola hack: Keep it in a snack bag and sprinkle on top right before eating to keep that crunch.
- Serving tip: Layer in clear glasses for that Pinterest café look.
