Greek Yogurt Berry Protein Parfait

Ingredients

• 2 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.33 cup vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1.5 cups mixed fresh berries
• 0.5 cup gluten-free almond granola
• 2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

1. In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract until the powder fully dissolves and the mixture is thick, smooth, and glossy.
2. Gently toss the mixed berries with the lemon zest in a small bowl, lightly crushing a few with the back of a spoon to release their juice.
3. Spoon a half-inch layer of the yogurt mixture into the bottom of two glasses, dividing it evenly, then top each with a generous layer of the juicy berries.
4. Sprinkle an even layer of almond granola over the berries until it forms a crunchy crust, then repeat the yogurt and berry layers until the glasses are full, ending with a final dollop of yogurt.
5. Finish each parfait with a scatter of toasted sliced almonds and a few reserved berries, and serve within 5 minutes so the granola stays crisp and crunchy rather than turning soft.
