Fruit Parfait

Fruit Parfait:
Layer low-fat Greek yogurt with fresh mixed berries, sliced bananas, and a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts. Repeat the layers and top with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.

Fruit parfait is a delightful and healthy breakfast or snack option that combines layers of creamy yogurt with fresh fruits and crunchy toppings. Here's how to make a delicious fruit parfait:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
• 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and kiwi), washed and chopped
• 1/4 cup granola or muesli
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix the chopped fresh fruits together. You can use a combination of your favorite fruits or use seasonal fruits for the best flavor.

2. 
   

3. If you prefer a sweeter parfait, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat the fruits. The sweetness of the fruits and the yogurt might be enough, so adjust the sweetness according to your taste.

5. In a separate bowl, stir the Greek yogurt until it becomes smooth and creamy. Greek yogurt works well for parfaits as it has a thick and rich texture.

13. Repeat the layers: yogurt, fruits, and granola, until you fill the glass or bowl.

15. For the final touch, top the parfait with a few extra pieces of fresh fruit and a sprinkle of granola or muesli.
