Sugar-Free Yogurt Parfait – Creamy, Fruity, and Chocolate-Studded

Sugar-Free Yogurt Parfait – Creamy, Fruity, and Chocolate-Studded

Here’s a truth bomb: Most store-bought yogurt parfaits are sugar bombs in disguise. Even “healthy” ones sneak in 20+ grams of added sugar. This one? None. Zilch. Nada.

You get all the creaminess, fruitiness, and chocolatey fun without blowing your carb count—thanks to Greek yogurt, sugar-free honey, and a smart layering trick that keeps every bite interesting.

💡 What Makes This Feel Like Real Food

  • Full-fat Greek yogurt gives richness and satiety
  • Sugar-free honey sweetens naturally without spike
  • Vanilla bean adds depth (or use extract in a pinch)
  • Fresh strawberries = sweet + tart
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips take it from snack to legit dessert

It’s one of those no-cook wins that feels a little fancy but takes under 10 minutes to throw together. And it keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days? Yeah. Meal prep for the win.

🧾 Ingredients That Kept It Sugar-Free

  • 8 oz strawberries (about 1 pint) – Fresh and hulled
  • 3 tbsp sugar-free honey, divided – I use an allulose-based one for zero aftertaste
  • 2 cups (16 oz) full-fat Greek yogurt – Go for plain, no added sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract – Or scrape from a vanilla bean if you’re feeling extra
  • 2 oz sugar-free chocolate chips – Lily’s or Hu Kitchen both work great

🔁 Low-Sugar Swaps That Still Work

Raspberries or blackberriesLower in sugar, more tart bite
