Strawberry Yogurt Parfait with Chocolate Granola

Bright, fruity, and packed with texture, this strawberry yogurt parfait makes breakfast feel like dessert. Fresh berries and creamy, plant-based yogurt alternative pair beautifully with crunchy chocolate granola, creating layers of nourishing and satisfying flavors. Feel free to swap in your favorite dairy yogurt if you're not vegan. Either way, this is a versatile recipe that can be scaled up for meal prep or served individually for a quick snack.

The homemade chocolate granola is simple to make and keeps well, so you can sprinkle it over yogurt, smoothie bowls, or even enjoy it on its own. For a faster option, store-bought granola works well too. This parfait is not only delicious but also a fun way to include more fruit and whole grains in your morning routine or afternoon snack.

To make a vegan strawberry yogurt parfait, I like So Delicious® dairy-free yogurt alternative. For this recipe, I used their Strawberry Banana Coconutmilk flavor, but you could instead opt for vanilla, blueberry, raspberry, or any other type that sounds good to you. Besides all of the flavor options, I also like that So Delicious® is part of Danone North America, which is a Certified B Corporation® working toward a more sustainable food system.

Ingredients

For the homemade chocolate granola, you'll need rolled oats, slivered almonds, cocoa powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, and almond butter (or any nut butter you like). The parfait layers include a dairy-free strawberry yogurt alternative and fresh quartered strawberries.

Substitutions 

• Granola: Swap in store-bought chocolate granola (or any granola you like).
• Nuts: Use pumpkmin seeds or sunflower seeds if nut-free.
• Yogurt: Any plant-based yogurt alternative works, or regular dairy yogurt if preferred.
• Strawberries: Try raspberries or blueberries. You can also substitute dried fruit if needed.
• Sweetener: Instead of maple syrup, use agave or honey (if not vegan).

Making Ahead and Storage

Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.

Assemble parfaits ahead of time and refrigerate tightly covered for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the granola will soften over time. For maximum crunch add granola just before serving.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Chocolate Granola:

• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
• ⅓ cup slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons almond butter or nut butter of choice

Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits:

• 2 (5.3-ounce) containers So Delicious Strawberry Banana Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative or yogurt of choice
• 1 cup quartered strawberries

Instructions

 

Prepare the Chocolate Granola:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Add oats, almonds, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Stir in maple syrup and almond butter.
• Spread the oat mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the oats begin to harden.
• Cool granola on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes. The granola will continue to crispen as it cools.
• Once cooled, use your hands to break the granola into small pieces

Prepare the Strawberry Yogurt Parfaits:

• Add a third of the So Delicious Yogurt Alternative to the bottom of two glasses. Add a third of the granola and a third of the strawberries. Repeat until all of the ingredients are used. You may have some leftover granola to save for another use.
• For the crunchiest texture, serve immediately after you assemble the parfaits. If you don't mind softer granola, tightly cover and refrigerate the prepared parfaits for up to 3 days. Store prepared granola in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Notes

• Storage: Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months. Assemble parfaits ahead of time and refrigerate tightly covered for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the granola will soften over time. For maximum crunch add granola just before serving.
• Substitutions: Substitute any dairy-free yogurt alternative or dairy yogurt (if not vegan). Use store-bought granola if desired.
