Breakfast Yogurt Parfait Meal Prep

For years, my biggest issue with making parfaits ahead of time was soggy granola, but I finally figured out the secret! This parfait breakfast meal prep method will keep your granola perfectly crunchy until you’re ready to eat. It makes all the difference in getting to enjoy a truly fantastic breakfast.

This is one breakfast both adults and kids love- who doesn’t like parfaits, right?

The endless customization options is my favorite thing about this one. I can make a few parfaits with berries for me and Jason, and maybe a tropical version for Spencer when he’s visiting.

It’s basically dessert for breakfast, just a healthier version!

🍓 Ingredients

There are only four basic ingredients in these meal prep parfaits. You can always add in extras. Let’s take a look:

✔️Vanilla Yogurt – Use regular vanilla yogurt or opt for a Greek variety depending on your tastes. Other flavors would also be good, too, if you want even more variety. I often make yogurt in the crockpot. It’s super easy and there’s also an instant pot version you can try.

✔️Fruit – Blueberries and strawberries are always a hit with these meal prep parfaits. Swap it for other fruits that you have on hand. You can’t go wrong!

✔️Vanilla Almond Granola – The granola gives the parfait an excellent crunchy element that is unbeatable. It’s so delicious, and you will love it. Buy pre-packaged granola or make your own, like the peanut butter cranberry or gingerbread granola. Also, think of substituting a homemade muesli for the granola.

🍽️ Instructions 

👉Step 1: Wash and slice the fruit and put them in on section of the meal prep container. Then add the granola.

👉Step 2: Add the yogurt to the largest compartment. Fill all the containers, cover and refrigerate them until you are ready to serve.

👉Step 3: When it is time to serve, spoon the granola and fruits into the yogurt and enjoy the sweet, crunchy breakfast parfait.

🍇 Variations

Customize your breakfast parfait however you’d like— here are some ideas for you to add.

🔸Fruit like strawberries, blueberries, grapes, etc. Be sure to use fruits that are likely to stay fresher longer.

🔸Granola, nuts, dried cranberries, etc.

🔸Honey, jam, maple syrup, etc.

🔸A spoonful of Nutella (learn to make your own in your air fryer!)

💡 Expert Tips

📌Don’t overfill the yogurt side of your meal prep container! You’ll want to be able to scoop your other ingredients into it and mix them in without tiny pieces of granola flying everywhere because it’s too full.

📌The yogurt parfaits will last up to 3 days in the fridge.

📌Keep it cold until you are ready to serve.
