Yogurt Parfait with Berries, Granola, and Nuts

Yogurt parfaits are a classic breakfast or snack for a reason: they're easy to make, customizable, and delicious. This version features layers of creamy yogurt, fresh berries, crunchy granola, and nutty nuts. The honey drizzle is optional, but it adds a touch of sweetness and complexity.

The yogurt parfait was invented in the early 1900s by a New York City restaurateur named John Harvey. Harvey was looking for a way to serve yogurt that was both appealing and easy to eat. He came up with the idea of layering yogurt with fruit, granola, and nuts, and the parfait was born.
