A fruit parfait is the perfect treat for anyone craving something light, refreshing, and packed with nutrients. This delightful dessert or snack is a beautiful layered combination of fresh fruits, creamy yogurt, and crunchy granola. Not only is it visually appealing, but it’s also incredibly versatile, allowing you to mix and match your favorite fruits and toppings.

To make a fruit parfait, you start by choosing a selection of fresh, seasonal fruits. Berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are always a hit, but feel free to add other fruits like bananas, kiwi, or mango for variety. The key is to layer the fruit with creamy yogurt, which can be either Greek yogurt for added richness or a dairy-free alternative if you prefer. You can also use flavored yogurts or sweeten the yogurt with honey or maple syrup, depending on your preference.

Granola or nuts add the perfect crunch between the creamy and fruity layers, providing texture and a touch of sweetness. You can even sprinkle some chia seeds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and nutrition. The beauty of the fruit parfait is that it’s customizable to suit any taste or dietary need, whether you prefer it dairy-free, gluten-free, or high-protein.

Not only is a fruit parfait an ideal option for breakfast, but it also makes a great snack or light dessert. It’s easy to prepare in advance and perfect for meal prepping, simply layer the ingredients in a jar or container, and you have a grab-and-go treat for the week ahead. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants from the fresh fruit, as well as protein from the yogurt, a fruit parfait is a healthy and satisfying way to enjoy the goodness of fruit.

Whether you enjoy it as a quick morning pick-me-up or a refreshing afternoon snack, a fruit parfait is a delicious and nutritious way to indulge in the natural sweetness of fruit.

    Why not just blend everything together and call it a smoothie?? 🤷‍♂️

      Yogurt again? I prefer ice cream, it tastes better! Not sure if this will do it for me. 🤷‍♂️

    Mmm… I love berries. Made it with chia seeds too. Super healthy.

    2 tbsp honey? I put more because I love sweet! 😊😍

      Honey is the best part! A lil extra sweetness never hurt! 😊

    2. User avatar richard.turner says:

      But isn’t that too much sugar? I feel like the recipe is sweet enough as it is.

    It’s okay, but I don’t see what’s so special about just mixing yogurt and fruit. Meh.

  13. 5 stars

    Yummy! But I think you should add some nuts next time for crunch!

    Mint leaves… why? Just a fancy touch, but it won’t make it better.

    Kinda confusing layers. I just mixed everything together. It was fine then.

      It’s great that you still enjoyed it! Sometimes mixing it all together is a great shortcut!

      Confusing? It’s just layers! What’s the big deal? Just dump it all in, lol.

    I dunno, I think there should be more granola. Mine turned out kinda mushy.

    1. User avatar Gabriel Cummerata says:

      4 stars
      I totally get you! More granola would definitely help with that mushy texture. Maybe try letting the yogurt drain for a bit? That might help!

  20. User avatar lazaro.ohara says:

    Too much granola, it overpowered everything. Less is more!

  21. User avatar duncan.upton says:

    This is what I call a perfect snack! Also, can I use regular yogurt?

    1. User avatar hee.walsh23 says:

      4 stars
      Regular yogurt should be fine! Just make sure it’s not too runny or watery. Enjoy your parfait!

  22. User avatar federico.botsford2001 says:

    4 stars
    Yummy! I can’t believe I made this! Is it really healthy though?

  23. User avatar gale.krajcik6 says:

    Not bad, but I used store-bought yogurt and it was too sweet with the honey. Next time I’ll skip it.

    1. User avatar michal.schamberger45 says:

      4 stars
      I totally agree! Store-bought can be way too sweet sometimes. Maybe try plain yogurt next time?

      Idk, honey adds a nice touch! But I get it, everyone’s taste is different. 🙃
