Method
 

For the Yogurt Base
  1. Whisk Greek yogurt and honey in a medium bowl until silky-smooth and lightly sweetened. This takes about 1 minute for a creamy, lump-free texture.
For the Berry Layers
  1. Toss fresh berries with lemon zest in a bowl until evenly coated; flavors pop and juices mingle in about 30 seconds.
For Assembling Parfaits
  1. Spoon a quarter of the yogurt mixture into serving glasses, add a layer of berries, then a sprinkle of granola. Repeat twice for three vibrant layers.
For the Crunchy Topping
  1. Finish each parfait with a generous handful of granola and chopped nuts, about two tablespoons, for golden-brown crunch and nutty richness.
To Garnish
  1. Top parfaits with fresh mint leaves and an extra honey drizzle. Serve immediately to enjoy bright flavors and contrasting textures while chilled.
