This Gluten-Free Greek Yogurt Parfait is the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast solution that combines creamy, protein-rich Greek yogurt with vibrant fresh berries and crunchy gluten-free granola. Each layer offers a delightful contrast in texture and flavor, creating a satisfying morning meal that keeps you energized throughout the day.

Perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or as a nutritious snack, this parfait is naturally gluten-free and requires zero cooking. The Greek yogurt provides a substantial protein boost, making it far more satisfying than typical breakfast options. Fresh berries contribute antioxidants, vitamins, and natural sweetness without added sugars, while certified gluten-free granola delivers heart-healthy whole grains and fiber.

What makes this parfait truly special is its versatility and visual appeal. The beautiful layers create an Instagram-worthy presentation that makes healthy eating exciting. You can customize it with your favorite berry combinations—strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work wonderfully.

Whether you're following a gluten-free diet by necessity or choice, this parfait proves that dietary restrictions don't mean sacrificing flavor or convenience. Assemble it the night before for an effortless morning routine, or layer it fresh when you're ready to eat. Either way, you'll have a nutritious, delicious breakfast that's ready in minutes and will keep you satisfied until lunch.

1

Wash all fresh berries thoroughly under cold running water. Pat the blueberries and raspberries dry with paper towels. Hull and slice the strawberries into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

2 min
2

In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract (if using) until well combined and smooth. If you prefer sweeter yogurt, mix in 1 tablespoon of honey at this stage.

1 min
3

Select two glass jars, parfait glasses, or bowls for assembling. Spoon 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each container, spreading it evenly to create the first layer.

4

Add a layer of mixed berries on top of the yogurt in each container, using about 1/4 cup of combined berries per serving. Distribute strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries evenly.

5

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gluten-free granola over the berry layer in each container, creating an even layer of crunch.

6

Repeat the layering process: add another 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, followed by another layer of mixed berries (about 1/4 cup), and then another 2 tablespoons of granola.

1 min
7

Top each parfait with a final dollop of Greek yogurt, remaining fresh berries arranged decoratively, and a final sprinkle of granola. Drizzle with remaining honey if desired.

8

Serve immediately for the crunchiest granola, or cover with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. If making ahead, consider packing granola separately and adding just before eating to maintain crunch.
