Pistachio Strawberry Breakfast

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

02 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

03 - 1 teaspoon honey, optional

04 - 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative

05 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

07 - 0.5 cup granola, store-bought or homemade

08 - 0.25 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

09 - Additional sliced strawberries

10 - Extra pistachios

11 - Fresh mint leaves, optional

01 - In a small bowl, toss strawberries with lemon juice and honey. Set aside to macerate for 5 minutes.

02 - In another bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth.

03 - Spoon a layer of yogurt into the bottom of two glasses or jars.

04 - Top each with a spoonful of macerated strawberries, a sprinkle of granola, and chopped pistachios.

05 - Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with strawberries and pistachios on top.

06 - Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

01 -

It comes together in the time it takes to brew coffee, yet tastes like you actually tried.
The contrast of creamy yogurt, juicy berries, and that satisfying pistachio crunch is genuinely addictive.
You can prep components ahead and assemble in seconds when hunger strikes.

02 -

Don't assemble more than 15 minutes before eating or your granola will start to absorb moisture and lose its crunch.
The lemon juice in the strawberries is not optional if your berries are on the bland side—it's the difference between tasting fresh and tasting like you're eating fruit salad from a can.

03 -

If your strawberries are very large, quarter them instead of slicing so you get pieces that mix evenly through the yogurt rather than creating thick fruit zones.
The difference between a good parfait and a forgettable one is using high-quality yogurt with active cultures that taste tangy and alive, not the sweetened stuff that masks the flavor of everything else.
