Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (berries, banana, kiwi)
- 1 cup granola
- Honey for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 cups of yogurt (you can choose Greek or regular), 2 cups of mixed fresh fruit (such as berries, banana, and kiwi), 1 cup of granola, and honey for drizzling if desired.
- Wash the mixed fresh fruit thoroughly. If using berries, rinse them under cold water. For bananas and kiwis, peel them and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium-sized bowl, layer the yogurt as the base. Use about ½ cup of yogurt for each serving.
- Add a layer of mixed fresh fruit on top of the yogurt. Use about ½ cup of mixed fruit for each serving, distributing it evenly among the yogurt layers.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola over the fruit. Use about ¼ cup of granola for each serving to add a crunchy texture.
- Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of yogurt, followed by more mixed fruit, and then another layer of granola. You can create two to three layers, depending on the size of your serving glasses or bowls.
- Once all layers are assembled, finish off with a final layer of fruit on top. This will make the parfait visually appealing.
- If desired, drizzle honey over the top layer of fruit for added sweetness. This step is optional, depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Serve the fruit and yogurt parfaits immediately in individual glasses or bowls, or refrigerate them for up to an hour before serving if you prefer them chilled.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious fruit and yogurt parfaits as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Tips
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for thick, creamy yogurt (Greek yogurt works best) and the freshest seasonal fruits for maximum flavor.
- Layer Strategically: Create visually appealing layers by using clear glasses or mason jars to showcase the beautiful colors and textures.
- Customize Your Parfait: Experiment with different fruit combinations, try flavored yogurts, or add nuts for extra crunch.
- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the ingredients in advance and assemble just before serving to keep the granola crisp.
- Temperature Matters: Serve chilled for a refreshing experience, but don't let it sit too long to maintain the granola's crunchiness.
- Sweetness Control: Use honey sparingly – it's meant to enhance, not overpower, the natural flavors of the fruits and yogurt.
- Storage Tip: If making in advance, keep the granola separate until just before serving to prevent sogginess.
