This dessert is fresh, light, and full of vibrant flavors. The creamy yogurt pairs perfectly with the sweet blueberries and juicy oranges. It’s a healthy treat that feels indulgent and is quick to prepare.
Directions
Stir the orange zest into the yogurt until it’s well combined and fragrant. Then, grab your parfait glasses and begin layering. Spoon a bit of the yogurt mixture into the bottom, followed by a handful of strawberries, a sprinkle of granola, and some blueberries. Keep adding layers in the same order until you’ve used up all the ingredients. Finish with a few berries and a little granola on top for a nice crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Serving Style Ideas
Serve chilled in clear glasses to show off the colorful layers. It makes a great breakfast, snack, or a light dessert after dinner. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a drizzle of honey for extra flair.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 1-2 days to keep the fruit fresh and the yogurt from becoming watery. Avoid freezing, as the texture will change.
