Creamy matcha yogurt paired with fresh strawberries and granola in refreshing layered servings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Yogurt Layer

01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

→ Fruit Layer

04 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

→ Granola Layer

05 - 1 cup granola

→ Toppings

06 - 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds
07 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and matcha powder, whisking until smooth and evenly colored throughout.
02 - Rinse fresh strawberries under cool water, remove hulls, and slice into uniform pieces.
03 - Divide matcha yogurt mixture equally among four clear glasses or jars. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons into each glass base, then add a layer of sliced strawberries followed by 2 to 3 tablespoons of granola. Repeat layering until glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt and strawberry slices on top.
04 - Top each parfait with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and fresh mint leaves as desired. Serve immediately for optimal texture and crunch.
05 - Alternatively, refrigerate assembled parfaits for up to 2 hours before serving if preparing ahead.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning without feeling rushed.
  • The contrast of creamy, crunchy, and sweet feels indulgent even though you're eating something genuinely good for you.
  • Those clear glasses make it pretty enough to photograph, but humble enough to eat at your kitchen counter in pajamas.
02 -
  • Matcha powder can be stubborn about dissolving, so whisk it with the yogurt before you even think about adding it to anything else, or you'll end up with little green specks that taste chalky.
  • The granola is what keeps this from becoming just a bowl of soft yogurt, so don't skip the step of adding it just before eating, even if it feels like an extra task.
03 -
  • Make your matcha yogurt the night before if you want, and keep it in a covered bowl in the fridge—it'll actually taste more vibrant the next day once the flavors have had time to marry together.
  • If you're using homemade granola that's extra chunky, break it into smaller pieces so it layers more evenly and distributes throughout instead of sinking to the bottom.
