This 4-ingredient Parfait with Greek Yogurt is a simple and satisfying way to start even the busiest days! It's creamy, crunchy, and naturally sweet, making it the perfect balanced breakfast or snack that will keep you full throughout the morning. 

Greek yogurt is the secret ingredient in this recipe, with an impressive 23 grams of protein in every cup. Add the protein from the almond butter and walnuts–and this breakfast has 32 grams to help you feel full, satisfied, and meet your goals.

For flavor, sliced strawberries add a fresh, natural sweetness, while the almond butter gives it a rich, almost decadent flavor. The walnuts add a delicious crunch and heart-healthy fats—with only 4 ingredients, each one makes a big difference!

And you know how I love quick breakfasts. You can meal prep (just like my overnight oats and blended cottage cheese). Add everything to individual jars or bowls and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. As it sits, everything seems to get even thicker, creamier, and sweeter!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• With just four ingredients and under 5 minutes of prep, this parfait is perfect for busy mornings or when you need a no-fuss snack.
• Thanks to the Greek yogurt and almond butter, this recipe has 32 grams of protein per serving, keeping you full and satisfied for hours and helping you meet your protein goals. 
• The strawberries and walnuts give this breakfast 7 grams of fiber to start your day, supporting digestion and giving you 25% of your daily value (DV) of fiber. 
• The combo of fresh strawberries, rich almond butter, and creamy Greek yogurt creates a deliciously balanced treat, with no added sugars. 
• You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to three days, making it an easy grab-and-go breakfast or snack. 

🛒 Key Ingredients

• Greek Yogurt: The creamy base of the parfait, Greek yogurt is loaded with protein—23 grams per cup. t's thick, satisfying, and keeps you feeling full longer. Plus, it's a good source of vitamin D and calcium. My favorite Greek yogurt to use is Oikos Triple Zero. It has no added sugars, no fat (we’ll add that ourselves with the other ingredients), and tastes amazing! 
• Strawberries: Fresh sliced strawberries add natural sweetness and a pop of color. They also add a boost of vitmain C, fiber, and antioxidants to start the day!
• Natural Almond Butter: Almond butter brings a rich, indulgent texture and flavor and adds healthy fats and even more protein. I prefer to use natural almond butter since it’s thinner in consistency and is easier to drizzle on each layer. 
• Walnuts: Crushed walnuts add some variety to the texture and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for heart health. They also add a bit more fiber and protein to the recipe.

🥣 Step by Step Instructions

1. Layer the yogurt, sliced strawberries, almond butter, and walnuts in a jar or bowl. 
2. Eat immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

Hint: Use Natural almond butter to easily drizzle it over each layer, getting a little bit in every bite!

🗯 Tips and Tricks

• If your almond butter is thick, try warming it for a few seconds in the microwave. It’ll make drizzling much easier and give you an even layer so you get a little almond butter in every bite. 
• I love using fresh strawberries for this recipe, but you can easily use frozen sliced strawberries if they’re not in season or that’s what you have. Either let them thaw for a few minutes before adding them or add them frozen to parfaits that you’re meal prepping for the week (they’ll thaw in the refrigerator!).
• Make a few parfaits at once and store them in the fridge for up to three days
• If you’re making this ahead of time, the walnuts will lose a little of their crunch as they sit in the yogurt. To keep the walnuts crunchy, you can wait to add them and sprinkle on top just before eating. 

↔️ Customize it

• I kept things simple with just strawberries, but you can use fresh or frozen raspberries, blueberries, baked apples, or sliced bananas for a new twist. 
• Swap out almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter. 
• If you prefer a sweeter parfait, drizzle in some honey, maple syrup, or a pinch of cinnamon for a little extra flavor. You can also use a different type of yogurt that has extra sugar added if that’s what you prefer (but keep in mind the nutrition content will change!)
• For more texture, sprinkle in some granola, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for an extra crunchy texture and boost of fiber. 
• You can easily make this recipe vegan or dairy free by substituting the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt made from almond, coconut, or soy milk. Keep in mind that many plant-based yogurts are lower in protein and higher in added sugars, so just be sure to look at the label first. 

🍲Make ahead and storage instructions

These parfaits are perfect for meal prep! You can easily make them the night before or make a few at once for an easy breakfast throughout the week. Just layer all the ingredients into jars or containers, seal them tightly and store them in the fridge for up to three days.
