High-Protein Greek Yogurt Breakfast Parfait: 5-Ingredient Easy Recipe


  • Author: Luciana
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

A quick, high-protein breakfast parfait that combines thick Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, granola, and fresh berries. It is designed to keep you full until lunch and can be assembled in just 5-10 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (450g) Greek Yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended)
  • 1 scoop (30g) Protein Powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 23 tablespoons (40-60ml) Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 cup (80g) Granola
  • 1 cup (150g) Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) Chopped Nuts or Seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, or pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) Nut Butter (optional, almond or peanut butter)
  • Splash of milk (optional, to adjust yogurt consistency)

Instructions

  1. Scoop Greek yogurt into a medium bowl. If using protein powder, add one scoop.
  2. Add a splash of milk if the yogurt is too thick. Whisk vigorously until the protein powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Wash and chop berries. If using frozen fruit, let them thaw slightly. Chop nuts into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mason jar or serving bowl, add a layer of protein yogurt (about 1/2 cup).
  5. Add a layer of granola (2-3 tablespoons).
  6. Add a generous layer of fresh berries.
  7. Repeat layers: yogurt, granola, berries. End with a final layer of yogurt on top.
  8. Top with remaining granola for crunch, drizzle with extra honey, and sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds.
  9. Serve immediately or seal and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

For best texture, eat within 24-48 hours. If meal prepping for more than 2 days, store granola separately and add just before eating to prevent sogginess. Do not freeze as yogurt will separate. Use thick, strained Greek yogurt for the best consistency.
