Layered Yogurt Fruit Parfait

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

02 - 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries

03 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

04 - 1 small banana, sliced

05 - 1/2 small kiwi, diced (optional)

06 - 1/2 cup granola (nut-free or gluten-free optional)

07 - 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional)

08 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

01 - Wash, hull, peel, and slice all fruit as necessary.

02 - Place 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt into the bottom of each of two glasses or jars.

03 - Add a layer of mixed sliced fruit—strawberries, blueberries, banana, and kiwi—to each glass.

04 - Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola evenly over the fruit in each container.

05 - Repeat the layers of yogurt, fruit, and granola until the glasses are filled.

06 - Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if desired, then garnish with chopped nuts or additional berries. Serve immediately.

01 -

It feels fancy but comes together in less time than it takes to brew coffee.
You can see every colorful layer through the glass, which somehow makes breakfast feel like a treat.
The crunch of granola against cold yogurt is the kind of texture contrast that wakes you up better than any alarm.

02 -

Add the granola right before eating or it turns soft and chewy within minutes.
If your yogurt is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk or water to make it easier to layer smoothly.

03 -

Layer the fruit in a pattern so each spoonful has a mix of textures and flavors.
Use vanilla yogurt if you want a little extra sweetness without adding honey.
Try toasting your own oats with a drizzle of maple syrup for homemade granola that's fresher and less sweet.
