Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large pomegranate
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup granola (homemade or store-bought)
  • Organic maple syrup or raw honey for topping (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jars: Choose four 12-ounce glass jars for assembling your parfaits.
  2. First yogurt layer: Place about a quarter cup of plain Greek yogurt at the bottom of each jar, creating a creamy foundation.
  3. Add granola: Sprinkle a quarter cup of granola evenly over the yogurt layer in each jar to add crunch and texture.
  4. Add pomegranate seeds: Generously sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the granola, imparting a burst of color and juicy sweetness.
  5. Repeat layers: Repeat the layering process by adding another quarter cup of Greek yogurt, another quarter cup of granola, and more pomegranate seeds on top in each jar.
  6. Top with sweetness: Drizzle organic maple syrup or raw honey over the final layer of pomegranate seeds to enhance flavor and add a glossy finish.
  7. Garnish: Optionally, add a fresh mint leaf on top of each parfait for a bright, refreshing garnish.
  8. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the parfaits for a few hours if preparing ahead to maintain freshness and crunch, then enjoy your delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • The parfaits can be prepared up to a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
  • Use either organic maple syrup or raw honey as a natural sweetener; you can omit this for a less sweet option.
  • Homemade granola adds a personal touch, but store-bought granola works perfectly too.
  • Pomegranate seeds add both flavor and visual appeal—be sure to remove all pith for best taste.
  • The recipe yields four parfait servings suitable for breakfast or a healthy snack.
