Ingredients
  • 2 cups Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 cup Mango (diced)
  • 1 cup Pineapple (diced)
  • 1/2 cup Granola (your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)

Preparation is Key

Begin by dicing the mango and pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to layer them in the parfait and ensure even distribution of flavors.

Assembling the Parfait

Take two glasses or parfait dishes. In the bottom of each glass, add a layer of Greek yogurt (approximately 1/4 cup per glass). For a sweeter taste, you can lightly sweeten the yogurt with honey or maple syrup.

Layering Fruits

Next, add a layer of diced mango on top of the yogurt. Follow with a layer of diced pineapple. Be generous with the fruit, ensuring each layer is distinct and flavorful.

Granola Crunch

Sprinkle a layer of granola over the fruit. This adds a delightful crunch and texture to the parfait. Use your favorite granola or a mix of nuts and seeds for extra nutritional value.

Repeating the Layers

Repeat the layers of yogurt, mango, pineapple, and granola until you reach the top of the glass. You can create as many layers as you like, depending on the size of your glasses.

Final Touches

Finish the parfait with a final layer of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top for a tropical touch. Drizzle with a little extra honey or maple syrup if desired.

Serving and Enjoying

Serve the Tropical Sunrise Yogurt Parfait immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for later. Enjoy this refreshing and nutritious breakfast or brunch treat! You can also use different types of fruits in layers based on your own preferences.

FAQ

  • Can I use frozen fruit?

    Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but make sure to thaw it before adding it to the parfait to avoid a watery consistency. Drain any excess liquid before layering.
  • Can I make this parfait ahead of time?

    Yes, you can assemble the parfait a few hours ahead of time. However, the granola may soften if it sits in the yogurt for too long. If you're making it ahead, add the granola just before serving.
  • What other fruits can I use?

    Feel free to experiment with other fruits such as berries, peaches, kiwi, or bananas. Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
