Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty at 2 AM! As someone who’s notorious for late-night cravings, I’ve perfected this heavenly Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait with Honey-Roasted Nuts that’s both nutritious and totally Instagram-worthy.
You know those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly your stomach starts making whale noises? Yeah, been there! Instead of reaching for those chips, let me show you this gorgeous creation that takes just 5 minutes to whip up.
What you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth it):
– 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat because we’re not playing games here)
– 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, I don’t judge)
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1/4 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, whatever floats your boat)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– A pinch of cinnamon
– Optional: dark chocolate shavings (because, duh!)
Now, here’s how the magic happens:
1. First, honey-roast those nuts (sounds fancy, right?). Toss them in a pan with 1 tablespoon of honey and a pinch of cinnamon. Toast for 2-3 minutes until they’re golden and your kitchen smells amazing. Let them cool for a minute – nobody likes a burnt tongue!
1. In your prettiest glass (because we eat with our eyes first!), mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and the remaining honey.

1. Now for the fun part – layering! Start with a yogurt base, add some berries, sprinkle those honey-roasted nuts, and repeat. Top it off with chocolate shavings if you’re feeling extra (which you should be).
The best part? This parfait is packed with protein from the Greek yogurt, antioxidants from the berries, and healthy fats from the nuts. It’s basically self-care in a glass, honey!
Pro tip: If you’re meal prepping, you can make the honey-roasted nuts in bulk and store them in an airtight container. Just don’t blame me when they disappear mysteriously – they’re that addictive!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved me from making regrettable midnight snack decisions. It’s sweet enough to satisfy those late-night cravings but wholesome enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you need to run a marathon.
