Grab 4 glasses or bowls—I use clear glasses so you can see all those gorgeous layers. Mix your Greek yogurt with honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a tiny pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until everything's combined and smooth. This takes maybe 90 seconds and honestly makes a huge difference in flavor.

Divide the yogurt mixture evenly between your 4 glasses, using about 1/4 cup per glass. Spoon it into the bottom as your first layer—this is your white layer, so press it down gently so it stays put. Leave a tiny bit of room at the top for your other layers.

Layer your sliced strawberries on top of the yogurt, using roughly 2 tablespoons per glass. These create that gorgeous red layer and add a little tartness to balance the sweetness. Don't stress if they're not perfectly arranged—it still looks beautiful and tastes amazing.

Now sprinkle the blueberries over the strawberries to make your blue layer—use about 2 tablespoons per glass. I love how the berries settle into the yogurt a little bit, creating those marble-like colors. This is where the patriotic parfait magic really shows up.

Top each glass with 1 tablespoon of granola and 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios for that satisfying crunch. Sprinkle a tiny bit of coconut on top if you're using it. The toppings give you different textures with every spoonful, which honestly keeps things interesting.

Add a pinch of fresh mint on top of each red white blue yogurt parfaits for a little pop of color and freshness. This last touch takes 10 seconds but makes people think you actually spent hours on these. I learned this trick when I accidentally left mint on top one time and never stopped.

Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to eat. These stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 hours, though I'll be honest—the granola gets a little soft if you wait longer than that. Eat them within a few hours for maximum crunch.
