Ingredients
Dairy
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Fruit
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1 mango
Other
- 1 cup granola
Instructions
- Combine yogurt and syrup: In a small mixing bowl, add the plain yogurt and pure maple syrup. Stir gently to mix the syrup evenly into the yogurt, creating a sweet and creamy base for the parfait.
- Prepare the fruit: Thoroughly wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to remove any dirt or residues. Slice the strawberries into thin pieces and dice the mango into small, bite-sized cubes to ensure easy layering and eating.
- Layer the parfaits: In each serving dish or glass, alternate layers of the sweetened yogurt, granola, and mixed fruit. Start with a spoonful of yogurt, then a sprinkle of granola, followed by a layer of assorted fruit, and repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a colorful fruit topping for a visually appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately: Once assembled, serve the yogurt parfaits right away to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors at their best before the granola softens.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, protein-rich parfait.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Feel free to substitute other seasonal fruits or berries based on availability.
- For added texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds on top.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours if prepped ahead.
