Okay ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty when you crawl back into bed! This protein-packed Greek yogurt parfait with a twist is not your basic layered dessert – it’s a game-changer that’ll satisfy those late-night cravings while keeping your nutrition goals on track.
What you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth gathering these ingredients):
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat because we’re not playing around here)
– 1 tablespoon raw honey
– 1/4 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, I won’t judge)
– 2 tablespoons crushed dark chocolate (70% or higher, we’re being somewhat healthy!)
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
– A handful of crushed almonds
– A pinch of sea salt (yes, seriously!)
Now, let’s get this party started! First, grab your cutest glass or bowl – because we eat with our eyes first, right? Mix that Greek yogurt with honey until it’s smooth and creamy. This is where the magic begins, ladies!
Layer half the yogurt mixture at the bottom, then sprinkle some of those crushed almonds and chia seeds. Add your berries (I personally love mixing blueberries and raspberries because I’m fancy like that), and then – here’s the secret – add that pinch of sea salt to your crushed dark chocolate before sprinkling it on. Trust your girl on this one!

Repeat these layers, and finish with a beautiful top layer of berries, chocolate, and nuts. The sea salt brings out the chocolate flavor while the chia seeds add omega-3s and fiber – because we’re all about that balanced life, even at midnight!
Pro tip: If you’re meal prepping (look at you being all organized!), you can make these in advance and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just keep the crunchy toppings separate until you’re ready to devour it.
And honey, let me tell you – this parfait has saved me from so many junk food binges during those late-night Netflix marathons. It’s protein-rich, satisfying, and feels totally indulgent without the guilt trip the next morning.
