Instructions
Creating a Greek yogurt parfait is an event of layering and assembling delightful ingredients. Here’s how to do it step by step:
1. Choose Your Serving Glass: Select a clear glass or a bowl for the parfait. The visual aspect is important to showcase the layers.
2. Add the First Layer of Yogurt: Spoon about 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt into the bottom of your glass, creating a smooth base.
3. Layer with Fruits: Add a layer of mixed fresh berries on top of the yogurt. About 1/2 cup should suffice.
4. Sprinkle Granola: Next, add about 1/4 cup of granola over the fruits to introduce a crunchy texture.
5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering by adding another 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, followed again by 1/2 cup of mixed fruits and another 1/4 cup of granola. You can repeat until your glass is filled to your liking.
6. Finish with Toppings: Top your parfait with sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and any additional toppings like chopped nuts or seeds.
7. Garnish (Optional): If you’d like, add a sprig of mint or a dusting of cinnamon on top for extra flair.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Greek yogurt parfait immediately while the granola is still crunchy.
