What does a strawberry parfait taste like?
If you’ve never had a parfait you may be wondering what it tastes like so let me explain. A parfait has a few different flavor notes that tie together beautifully. It’s got a tangy cream as a base, a sweet berry flavor, and a crunchy oat taste from the granola. It’s the perfect snack, breakfast, or lunch option!
Best yogurt for this recipe
The best yogurt for this parfait recipe is unsweetened plain Greek yogurt. The reason for this is to allow the sweet, freshness of the strawberry mixture to shine. I promise you don’t need sweetened yogurt, the berry mixture tastes so much better! You can also opt for almond, cashew, or coconut yogurt as a plant-based option. If you don’t like Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurts, use plain unsweetened, or vanilla yogurt.
Best Strawberries for this recipe
The best berries for this parfait recipe are frozen organic strawberries. Frozen berries are important for the consistency of the parfait. It gives it an ice cream-type texture and it’s so good! Also, the strawberries being organic are not just for health purposes but also flavor. Frozen strawberries can be on the sour side but when choosing organic, they’re almost always so much tastier! (Don’t get regular sweetened frozen strawberries, those are riddled with refined sugar and are not a healthy option)
Can I make this strawberry parfait recipe vegan?
Yes, you can! Instead of Greek yogurt use a plant-based option such as almond, cashew, or coconut yogurt. Find one that is unsweetened and it’ll be amazing! Also instead of honey, use pure maple syrup to sweeten this recipe.

Simple Greek Yogurt Strawberry Parfait Recipe
Equipment
- 2 Bowl
- 2 Spoon
- 1 Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 medium size orange
- 2 cups frozen strawberries organic is best (for health + flavor)
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 4 cups plain unsweetened greek yogurt
Optional Toppings
- 1/2 cup granola (adds protein + crunch)
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seed (adds protein + fiber)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds (adds nutrients + fiber)
- 1 drizzle extra honey (adds more sweetness)
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit
Instructions
- First, make the fruit topping for your parfait by adding the frozen strawberries, honey, and juice from 1 orange to a food processor or blender. Begin blending this mixture until it has a smooth frozen consistency like ice cream. If you're having a hard time getting this consistency, add a few tablespoons of water.

- Finally, add the toppings of your choice and enjoy!
Notes
- add a few toppings to add more protein and nutrients for a well-rounded meal
- honey/cinnamon granola is amazing with this recipe
- make sure the flax seeds are ground (whole flax seeds don’t digest in our bodies)
- add fresh berries for extra berry flavor like raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries
- use greek yogurt for a tang
- use coconut, almond, or cashew yogurt for a plant-based option
- try to avoid sugary yogurts
