Ingredients:

• Yogurt:
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
• Fruits:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix)
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced mango or pineapple (optional)
• Granola:
  • 1 cup granola (store-bought or homemade)
• Sweetener (optional):

• Toppings:
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • Seeds (chia seeds, flax seeds, or pumpkin seeds)
  • Shredded coconut
  • Dark chocolate chips or shavings

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Wash and slice the fruits as needed.
   • If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly before using.
2. Sweeten the Yogurt (Optional):
   • If you prefer a sweeter parfait, mix honey or maple syrup into the Greek yogurt to taste.
3. Layer the Parfait:
   • First Layer: Start by spooning a layer of yogurt into the bottom of your glass or jar.
   • Second Layer: Add a layer of granola on top of the yogurt.
   • Third Layer: Add a layer of mixed fruits.
   • Repeat these layers until you reach the top of your container. Aim for at least two sets of layers for a visually appealing parfait.
4. Top It Off:
   • Finish with a layer of yogurt on top.
   • Sprinkle additional granola, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, and dark chocolate chips or shavings.
5. Serve Immediately or Chill:
   • Serve the parfait immediately for a crunchy texture or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the granola to soften slightly.
6. Enjoy:
   • Grab a spoon and enjoy your delicious, healthy layered yogurt parfait!

Tips:

• Customize: Feel free to mix and match fruits, yogurt flavors, and toppings to suit your taste.
• Portion Control: Use smaller jars or glasses for individual servings, or larger ones if you’re serving as a main breakfast dish.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the fruit and yogurt layers ahead of time, but add the granola and toppings just before serving to keep them crunchy.
