For 4 servings
Prepare the fruit: Gently wash all berries under cool running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Hull the strawberries (remove the green tops) and slice them about 1/4-inch thick.
Begin layering: In four clear glasses or jars (about 12-16 oz capacity), place an even layer of granola at the bottom, using about 1/4 cup for each glass.
Add the yogurt: Spoon approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt over the granola. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread it into an even layer that touches the sides of the glass.
Add the first fruit layer: Arrange a layer of mixed berries over the yogurt, combining the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Repeat the layers: Add another layer of granola (1/4 cup), followed by another layer of yogurt (1/3 to 1/2 cup), and finish with a final, generous layer of mixed berries on top.
Garnish and serve: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top of each parfait. Garnish with two fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately to ensure the granola stays crunchy.
