Mommy Porter likes handing kids a spoon and a row of cups and letting them build their own — it turns snack time into a five-minute activity instead of a request. The layers just happen to be good for them too.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup granola
  • 1 cup mixed berries
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Layer the yogurt: Spoon a layer of yogurt into the bottom of each cup.
  2. Add granola and berries: Add a layer of granola, then a layer of berries. Repeat layers until cups are full.
  3. Finish: Drizzle with honey if desired and serve immediately, or chill until ready to eat.

💡 Chef's Tip

Add the granola right before serving rather than in advance — it stays crunchy instead of turning soggy.

🥗 Pairs Well With

  • Not a vegetable-forward snack — pair with cucumber slices or a small side salad for balance at lunch
  • Add grated carrot to a savory-leaning version if you want to sneak in extra veggies elsewhere in the day

❄️ Storage & Freezer Notes

  • Fridge: best assembled fresh, but yogurt and berry layers keep 1 day without granola.
  • Freezer: not recommended — yogurt texture changes when frozen and thawed.
  • Make-ahead tip: pack granola separately and add just before eating to keep it crisp.

👶 Kid-Friendly Serving Ideas

  • Let kids build their own parfait, layer by layer.
  • Use fun colorful cups to make it feel like a treat.
  • Swap in their favorite berries or a drizzle of nut-free seed butter.
