About This Healthy Recipe
Layers of plain Greek yogurt, mixed berries, banana, measured granola, almonds, and cinnamon. The recipe keeps crunchy ingredients separate until serving and clearly identifies the added sugar contributed by granola.
Using plain yogurt and fresh fruit keeps the base unsweetened, while a measured granola portion supplies crunch. Layering immediately before eating prevents the granola from absorbing moisture.
This high-protein greek yogurt berry parfait uses measured ingredients, realistic quantities, and practical preparation steps for home cooking. It is a healthy meal idea, not a cure, guaranteed weight-loss method, or substitute for individualized nutrition care.

How This Nutrition Estimate Was Prepared
- Every ingredient is assigned a specific gram weight instead of relying only on a cup, spoon, or item count.
- Standard unbranded food-composition values are aligned with the closest matching foods in USDA FoodData Central.
- Ingredient values are added for the full recipe, divided by the listed yield, and rounded only for display.
- Optional ingredients are included only when the ingredient list says they are part of the estimate.
Accuracy note: These numbers are credible estimates, not laboratory analysis. For the closest personal result, weigh the ingredients and calculate from the labels on the exact brands used.
