Ingredients

Scale

Yogurt Mix

  • 5 ounce container vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds, divided
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a small bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder. Stir well until the protein powder is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Layer the Parfait: Spoon half of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of a small glass tumbler or clear mason jar, creating the first layer of your parfait.
  3. Add Sweetness and Crunch: Sprinkle half of the toasted sliced almonds, mini chocolate chips, and toasted coconut flakes evenly on top of the yogurt layer. Then drizzle half of the honey over these toppings for added sweetness.
  4. Repeat the Layers: Add the remaining yogurt mixture over the first toppings layer. Follow this by sprinkling the remaining almonds, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes. Drizzle with the remaining honey to finish.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the parfait cold immediately or chill in the refrigerator to enjoy later as a refreshing and wholesome treat.

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.
