Ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty at 2 AM! Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of late-night munchies, and this Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait with Honey-Roasted Nuts is literally heaven in a glass.
You know those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly your stomach starts having a whole conversation with you? Yeah, been there! Instead of reaching for those chips, let me introduce you to this gorgeous, protein-packed treat that’s both satisfying and Instagram-worthy.
Here’s what you’ll need (I promise it’s super simple):
– 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat, because honey, we deserve it!)
– 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1/4 cup mixed nuts (I love almonds and walnuts)
– A pinch of cinnamon
– Optional: dark chocolate shavings (because… chocolate 😉)
Now, let’s get cooking (or should I say assembling?)!
1. First, roughly chop those nuts and toss them in a pan with 1 tablespoon of honey and that pinch of cinnamon. Toast them for about 3-4 minutes until they’re golden and your kitchen smells divine. Let them cool down – trust me, burning your tongue at midnight is not cute!
1. Layer time! Grab your prettiest glass (we eat with our eyes first, right?). Start with a dollop of Greek yogurt at the bottom.
1. Add some berries (pro tip: if using frozen, let them thaw slightly – your teeth will thank me later).
1. Drizzle with remaining honey, sprinkle some of those gorgeous honey-roasted nuts, and repeat the layers.
Y’all, this parfait is seriously addictive! It’s got protein from the Greek yogurt, antioxidants from the berries, and good fats from the nuts. Plus, it’s so pretty you’ll want to snap a pic for your stories!

The best part? This snack actually helps you sleep better, unlike that bag of chips that leaves you feeling like a guilty potato. The protein in Greek yogurt contains tryptophan (yeah, that same stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner), and the nuts have magnesium that helps calm your body.
