Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Parfait Layers
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and cinnamon. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
- Layer the Parfaits: In serving glasses, start by spooning a layer of the spiced yogurt mixture at the bottom. Then add a layer of granola, followed by a layer of mixed berries and some banana slices.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering yogurt, granola, and fruits until the glasses are filled to the top. The pattern of textures and colors makes these parfaits visually appealing.
- Top and Garnish: Finish each parfait with additional fresh berries and a light drizzle of honey on top for extra sweetness and a polished look.
- Serve: These parfaits can be served immediately for a fresh, crisp texture or chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a slightly softer consistency and melded flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute any seasonal fruits or nuts based on your preference for different flavor combinations.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to make it vegan-friendly.
- Chilling the parfaits enhances the flavor meld but serving immediately keeps the granola crunchier.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder to the yogurt mixture.
- Ensure the granola is fresh to maintain a crunchy texture in the parfait.
