Quick Answer: A coffee yogurt parfait layers coffee-flavored Greek yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit. Mix 1 cup yogurt with 2 tablespoons cold brew, then layer with ½ cup granola and berries. Contains about 30mg caffeine per serving.
Basic Recipe
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cold brew or 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup granola
- ½ cup fresh berries
- Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, coconut flakes
Assembly Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, cold brew, and honey until smooth. If using instant coffee, dissolve it in 1 tablespoon water first before mixing into yogurt.
In a glass or bowl, layer half the coffee yogurt on bottom. Add a layer of granola, then berries. Top with remaining yogurt, more granola, and final berry layer. Serve immediately for crunchy granola, or let sit 5 minutes for softer texture.
Make It a Meal

Topping Combinations
- Banana slices, walnuts, and honey drizzle
- Strawberries, chocolate chips, and coconut
