Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the nuts (optional but recommended): Place the chopped walnuts and almonds in a dry skillet over ^[medium heat]. Stir frequently for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Toasting deepens their flavor and adds extra crunch.

  2. 2

    Prepare the yogurt base: Spoon the Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl. If using vanilla extract, stir it in now. Give it a quick stir to make it smooth and spreadable.

  3. 3

    Build the first layer: Divide half of the Greek yogurt evenly between two glass (Large), bell jar, or mixing bowl. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of honey over each portion.

  4. 4

    Add the fruit and nuts: Layer half of the strawberries and blueberries over the Greek yogurt, then scatter half of the toasted walnuts and almonds on top. Add a tablespoon of granola here if using.

  5. 5

    Add the second layer: Spoon the remaining Greek yogurt over the fruit and nut layer, smoothing it gently. Top with the rest of the berries, nuts, and granola.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve: Drizzle the remaining honey generously over the top of each parfait. Dust lightly with cinnamon if desired, and garnish with fresh mint. Serve immediately for the best texture.
