The perfect snack: Yogurt, fresh fruit and crunchy granola

Hey there, time traveller!

Creamy Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and crunchy granola make a delicious and wholesome start to the day or a great afternoon snack_and layering them in a glass makes this simple combination feel like a special occasion.

Greek yogurt makes the creamiest parfait, but there’s no rule against using another kind of yogurt. You can use regular yogurt, but since it is thinner than Greek yogurt (extra liquid has been drained from Greek yogurt so that it’s really thick and creamy), the layers may not stay as well defined. We like the colour contrast between plain (unflavored) yogurt and the fruit, but if you use sweetened or flavoured yogurt, skip the honey.
