Method
 

Step 1
  1. Spoon Greek yogurt into the bowl.
  2. I always taste it first. Always.
  3. This step gets skipped too often.
Step 2
  1. Add fruit. Sometimes I layer it. Sometimes I dump it in.
  2. Frozen berries melt slowly. I actually like that.
Step 3
  1. Add crunch. Granola, nuts, seeds—whatever I chose.
  2. Not too much. Crunch should surprise you, not take over.
Step 4
  1. Add sweetness only if it needs it.
  2. Some days it doesn’t.
  3. That’s it.
  4. Layer it if you want. Mix it if you don’t. The spoon doesn’t care.
A Small Moment That Changed My Perspective
  1. Once, I tried to make a “perfect” parfait. Tall glass. Clean layers. Very careful.
  2. First spoonful—everything collapsed.
  3. I laughed. Mix it all together. Ate it.
  4. Tasted exactly the same.
  5. That’s when I stopped pretending food needs to perform.
