- Layer berries: Place a layer of fresh mixed berries over the granola to add natural sweetness and vibrant color.
- Drizzle honey: Lightly drizzle honey over the berries to enhance sweetness and add a touch of natural flavor.

Notes
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
- Granola can be substituted with nuts or seeds if preferred.
- This parfait is best served immediately to maintain the granola’s crunch.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and use plant-based yogurt.
- Chia seeds add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, boosting the nutritional value.
