Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups 600g mixed fresh fruit, berries, mango, kiwi, pineapple, chopped
  • 2 cups 480g plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons 45ml honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 40g shredded coconut, toasted, optional
  • ½ cup 60g granola, optional

Method
 

  1. Wash and cut fruit into bite sized pieces. Pat dry gently.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Begin layering in clear glasses or jars, starting with 2 to 3 tablespoons, about 40g, of yogurt mixture.
  4. Add a layer of mixed fruit, about one third cup or 50g.
  5. Repeat layers, ending with fruit on top. Sprinkle with coconut or granola if using.
  6. Chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Avoid overly ripe fruit that becomes mushy.
  • Assembled parfaits keep in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Store fruit and yogurt separately for up to 4 days for best freshness.
