Description

A refreshing and healthy Greek Yogurt Parfait featuring layers of creamy nonfat Greek yogurt blended with fresh kiwi puree, topped with crunchy granola and fresh diced fruit. This quick and easy parfait combines natural sweetness with a zesty lime twist, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 3 ripe kiwis or your favorite berries, peeled and diced

Yogurt Mixture

  • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (227 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon honey or preferred sweetener

Toppings

  • Granola, amount as desired
  • Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: Start by peeling and dicing the fresh kiwis or chosen berries into small bite-sized pieces, ensuring an even texture in your parfait.
  2. Puree Half the Fruit: Place half of the diced kiwi or fruit into a blender and puree until smooth. Set this aside for layering.
  3. Mix Yogurt Base: In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, lime zest, and honey. Stir well to integrate the flavors evenly.
  4. Combine Pureed Fruit and Yogurt: Gently fold the pureed kiwi or fruit into the yogurt mixture to create a smooth, fruity yogurt base.
  5. Layer Ingredients: In small glasses or mason jars, layer the yogurt mixture, granola, and the remaining diced fruit. Between fresh fruit layers, sprinkle finely chopped mint for a refreshing aroma and flavor.
  6. Final Layer and Serve: Add a final layer of fresh fruit on top, garnish with a mint sprig if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the parfait at its freshest and crunchiest.

Notes

  • Use ripe kiwis or any berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries as substitutes.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or use a sweetener suitable for your diet.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt alternatives.
  • Layering granola just before serving keeps it crunchy.
  • This parfait is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
