Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup Greek yogurt (either plain or vanilla for added flavor)

1 cup granola (store-bought for convenience or homemade for a personal touch)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional; adjust based on your desired sweetness level)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if opting for plain yogurt)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for a pop of color)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup over them if you prefer a sweeter taste. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes. This will help macerate the berries, enhancing their natural sweetness and releasing their juices.

    Mix the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with any remaining honey or maple syrup (if using) and the vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well integrated, ensuring a creamy texture throughout.

      Layer the Parfaits: Choose clear serving glasses or bowls to showcase the vibrant layers. Start by adding a generous layer of the sweetened Greek yogurt at the bottom of each glass. Follow this by spooning in a layer of the macerated strawberries, allowing some juices to flow onto the yogurt for added flavor. Next, sprinkle a layer of granola over the strawberries for crunch. Repeat the layering process, alternating between yogurt, strawberries, and granola until you reach the top of the glasses, finishing with a final layer of strawberries to create a beautiful presentation.

        Garnish: To elevate your parfaits, top each serving with a sprig of fresh mint. This adds a refreshing aroma and a touch of elegance to your dish.

          Chill and Serve: Cover the parfaits and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and keeps the yogurt delightfully cool. Serve your parfaits chilled for the best taste experience.
