πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Prepare Your Vessel: Choose a clear glass or bowl to showcase the beautiful layers. Chill the glass in the freezer for 2 minutes if you prefer an extra-cold parfait.
2. Season the Yogurt: Spoon Greek yogurt into a small bowl. Stir in vanilla extract, sea salt, and 1/2 tsp lemon juice. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed (yogurt should be tangy, not bland).
3. Layer One: Yogurt Base: Transfer half the seasoned Greek yogurt (100g) to your chilled glass, creating a 1-inch base layer at the bottom.

4. Layer Two: Berries: Scatter half the mixed berries (40g) evenly over the yogurt layer. Squeeze a tiny bit of lemon juice over berries to brighten flavor.
5. Layer Three: Chia and Crunch: Sprinkle chia seeds (1 tbsp) and half the almonds (7g) over berries, pressing gently into place.
6. Layer Four: Final Yogurt: Add remaining seasoned yogurt (100g) on top, creating a smooth, creamy layer.
7. Top with Texture: Combine low-fat granola (40g) and remaining almonds (8g), then sprinkle generously over top. Add cinnamon dust and remaining fresh berries as garnish.
8. Drizzle and Chill: Finish with 1 tbsp maple syrup drizzled in a thin spiral across the top. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before eating, or enjoy immediately for maximum textural contrast.
