Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt (about 480 ml)
- 2 tablespoons raw or local honey (optional but recommended)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries, washed and dried
- 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granola (choose your favorite variety)
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds or walnuts (optional)
- A handful of fresh mint leaves for garnish
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash all your fruit thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi, and pat the blueberries dry. Keep fruit pieces bite-sized for easy layering and eating.
- Mix the Yogurt (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
- Toast the Nuts (optional, 5 minutes): If using nuts, toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Let cool before adding.
- Assemble the Parfait (10 minutes): Spoon a layer of the sweetened yogurt into the bottom of your glass. Add a layer of mixed fruit, then sprinkle a layer of granola. Repeat layers until the glass is nearly full, finishing with a layer of fruit on top. Sprinkle with toasted nuts and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Chill or Serve Immediately: Serve right away for maximum crunchiness or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Mix honey and vanilla into yogurt for even sweetness. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning. Drain very juicy fruit to prevent soggy granola. Assemble just before serving for crunchiest texture or chill for flavors to meld. Keep granola separate if prepping ahead.
