Ingredients
Yogurt
- 2 cups vanilla bean Greek yogurt (e.g., Wallaby Organic Greek Yogurt)
Fruit
- 12 cherries, fresh or frozen, washed, pitted, and halved
- 6 strawberries, fresh or frozen, washed and sliced lengthwise
Granola
- 3/4 cup mild-flavored vanilla granola
Instructions
- Prepare the yogurt base: Spoon the vanilla bean Greek yogurt evenly into serving glasses to form the first layer.
- Add fruit and granola layer: Arrange a layer of halved cherries, sliced strawberries, and granola over the yogurt for a burst of flavor and crunch.
- Second yogurt layer: Spoon another layer of yogurt gently on top of the fruit and granola to keep the parfait creamy and balanced.
- Top with fruit and granola: Finish by layering more cherries, strawberries, and granola on the top to create a beautiful and appetizing parfait.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect mix of creamy yogurt, fresh fruit, and crunchy granola.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen fruit according to availability; frozen fruit should be thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the fruit layers before adding yogurt.
- Granola can be substituted with nuts or seeds for a different crunch texture.
- To make a dairy-free version, substitute with a plant-based yogurt of your choice.
