Flaxseed, Greek Yogurt & Berry Parfait

A simple, make-ahead parfait built on flaxseed, Greek yogurt, and berries — ingredients studied for supporting balanced hormone metabolism.

Why This Recipe Works for Hormonal & Endocrine Health

Flaxseed contains lignans and fibre that support healthy estrogen metabolism, while the probiotics in Greek yogurt support gut health — increasingly recognised as a key player in hormone regulation. Walnuts add selenium, a mineral your thyroid needs to function properly, rounding out a breakfast built for endocrine balance.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons granola

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Spoon a layer of Greek yogurt into a glass or bowl.
2. Sprinkle with half the ground flaxseed.
3. Add a layer of mixed berries.
4. Repeat the layers with the remaining yogurt, flaxseed, and berries.
5. Top with chopped walnuts, granola, and a drizzle of honey.
6. Serve immediately, or refrigerate overnight for a grab-and-go breakfast.

Nutrition Notes

• Flaxseed lignans are studied for their role in supporting balanced estrogen metabolism.
• Probiotics from Greek yogurt support a healthy gut microbiome, which plays a growing-recognised role in hormone regulation.
• Walnuts provide selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, both important for healthy thyroid function.
• Berries add fibre and antioxidants that support stable blood sugar, which is closely tied to hormonal balance.
