Ingredients
Since this Chick Fil A parfait recipe features only 5 basic ingredients, I recommend using the best products you can get your hands on. Please scroll down to the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements.
- Greek yogurt: I like whole milk plain yogurt for its lovely thick consistency and no added sugar, but any type of yogurt will work well. Honey yogurt, vanilla Greek yogurt, and even dairy-free choices such as vegan almond or coconut milk yogurt are suitable for this recipe.
- Honey: I love sweetening my yogurt with raw honey. Other sweetener options are maple syrup, agave nectar, or powdered sugar.
- Vanilla: Adding a dash of vanilla bean paste is what I usually prefer to round out the flavor, but feel free to add pure vanilla extract instead. Or, if you’d rather, you could use 1/4 of a vanilla bean (they are potent in flavor, so a quarter pod is all you need).
- Fresh berries: Chick Fil A garnishes their parfaits with a combination of fresh strawberries and blueberries, but you can use any of your favorite fruit combinations. No fresh fruit? Grab frozen berries! Frozen fruit works perfectly in this recipe.
- Granola or cookies: Chick Fil A offers this treat with a sprinkling of granola or cookie crumbs. I enjoy granola in the mornings and Oreos for a snack or dessert. Use either homemade granola or your favorite store brand.

Tips for success
I have a few quick tips for the best Chick Fil A parfait recipe that you want to make over and over again:
- Whisk the yogurt: I recommend taking a few times to whisk it in the bowl because it makes the yogurt even creamier and ensures the honey and vanilla are well incorporated.
- Make it pretty: I like to take my time garnishing the top, especially when I’m serving this for family and friends. Use colorful fruit and decorate with fresh mint. Folks go crazy as soon as they see pretty yogurt parfaits in cute jars.
- Customize it: The thing I love about this homemade Chick Fil A yogurt is that it’s so simple to change up with whatever you have on hand. Use the measurements as a starting point and try different yogurt, fruit, and granola.
Substitutions and add-ins
The best part about a copycat Chick Fil A parfait recipe is making it your own. I have a few tasty suggestions how you can customize your Greek yogurt parfait:
- Sweetener: A natural sweetener like a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar tastes delicious. Or try blackberry syrup or lemon curd sauce to flavor the yogurt.
- Nuts & seeds: Switch out the granola for a handful o nuts and seeds. Chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pepitas, and sunflower seeds are tasty additions.
- Chocolate chips: Can’t deny your sweet tooth and want to splurge? Adding 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips may just satisfy your cravings.
- Nut butters: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for healthy protein and fats.
- Superfoods: Stir in a 1/2 teaspoon of hemp seeds or chia seeds per serving to make your Chick Fil A Greek yogurt parfait even more nutritious.
- Protein powder: For a high-protein snack, incorporate a scoop of your favorite whey or plant-based protein powder.
- Cookies: Swap in chocolate chip cookies, matcha white chocolate cookies, or banana oatmeal cookies instead of Oreos.

Make Chick Fil A yogurt parfait ahead of time
Making this Chick Fil A yogurt recipe as part of your weekly meal pal is a breeze. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Serve granola or cookies on the side: I recommend skipping the granola (or cookies) when assembling the parfait because it will lose its crunchy texture and become soggy as it sits. And no one likes soggy granola. Instead, serve the granola/cookie crumbs on the side and add them right before serving.
- Use mason jars with lids: These 8-oz mason jars are ideal for perfectly portioned homemade yogurt granola parfaits. Simply add the yogurt and fruit, tighten the lid, and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Store leftover Chick Fil A Greek yogurt parfait
If you have leftover Greek yogurt parfait, place it in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Be sure to serve the parfait with extra granola and fruit on the side.

FAQ
What’s the difference between parfait and yogurt?
Yogurt is a thick, milk-based product that is sold plain or with flavorings like fruit and sweetener. By contrast, a parfait is a layered dessert typically consisting of a creamy component, fruit, cake, granola, or cookies, and sometimes a whipped topping.
Our strawberry shortcake parfaits and lemon curd parfaits are examples of dessert parfaits.

However, you can prepare this easy breakfast recipe with any yogurt you like (including plant-based options).
