Introduction

This Almond Joy Yogurt Parfait is a delightful, nutritious treat that combines creamy vanilla Greek yogurt with the flavors of toasted coconut, almonds, and chocolate. It’s an easy-to-make snack or breakfast that’s both satisfying and indulgent.

Two clear glass jars filled with a creamy, white yogurt base topped with thin almond slices, small dark chocolate chips scattered evenly, and light shredded coconut flakes on top. One jar has a gold spoon inside, mixing the yogurt to show its smooth texture. The jars are placed on a white marbled texture surface, with a wooden board underneath them, and some almonds and chocolate chips sprinkled around. The setting includes a white scalloped dish with syrup in the corner and a folded cloth napkin with a simple black pattern on the side. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

5 ounce container vanilla Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds, divided
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, divided
1 & 1/2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes, divided

Instructions

Step 1: Spoon half of the yogurt into the bottom of a small glass tumbler or clear mason jar.
Step 2: Sprinkle with the protein powder, then drizzle with the honey.
Step 3: Sprinkle half of each of the almonds, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes on top. Repeat layering once with the remaining ingredients.
Step 4: Serve cold and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Try swapping vanilla protein powder for chocolate protein powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
For extra crunch, use chopped almonds instead of sliced.
Layer with fresh fruit like banana slices or berries for added freshness and color.

Storage

Store assembled parfaits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If layering in advance, nuts and chocolate may soften slightly but will still taste delicious. For best texture, add crunchy toppings just before serving.

How to Serve

A clear glass jar shows a layered dessert with five visible layers starting at the bottom with a thick white creamy layer, above it a thin yellowish caramel-like layer mixed with almond slices, then a dense layer of small dark chocolate chips, followed by another white creamy layer, and finally topped with a generous sprinkle of shredded white coconut and more small dark chocolate chips. The jar is placed on a white marbled surface with scattered chocolate chips and almond slices around it, and there is a gold spoon and a white cloth partially visible in the background.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, regular yogurt works fine, but Greek yogurt will give a thicker, creamier texture and added protein.

Can I prepare these parfaits the night before?

Yes, you can prepare them in advance, but it’s best to add the crunchy toppings right before eating to maintain their texture.

Toppings

1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds, divided
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, divided

Notes

For extra crunch, toast the sliced almonds and coconut flakes yourself by lightly roasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Use vanilla protein powder to enhance the flavor and add protein content; substitute with any preferred protein powder flavor if desired.
Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.
Layering can be adjusted to personal preference; parfaits can also be served in any clear glass for attractive presentation.
