That crunch under the spoon when the granola gives way over the cold yogurt — that’s the sound of a good morning. A berry yogurt parfait is prepared in less time than it takes to wait for the coffee to brew. No heat, no technique, just layers.

Look at those strata. The pearly white of the Greek yogurt contrasting with the deep red of the strawberries, the almost black purple of the blueberries bleeding slightly onto the edges of the glass. One spoonful of all that, and you have the creamy cold of the yogurt on one side, the crunch of the granola on the other, and that little spike of acidity from the raspberries that completely wakes up the palate. It’s as fresh as an open window in June.
