Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) mandarin orange segments
  • 1 cup (150 g) kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (150 g) blackberries or purple grapes
  • 1 cup (100 g) granola (choose your favorite, nutty, honeyed, or gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups (480 ml) of plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey or maple syrup. Stir gently until combined and adjust sweetness to taste. Set aside.
  2. Wash all fruits thoroughly. Slice strawberries and kiwi into thin, even pieces (about 1/4 inch thick). Peel and segment mandarins carefully to avoid pith. Keep blueberries and blackberries whole.
  3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of the sweetened yogurt into the bottom of your glass. Smooth gently with a spoon.
  4. Arrange sliced strawberries evenly over the yogurt layer, about 1/4 cup (40 g). Try not to mix into the yogurt.
  5. Add another 2 tablespoons (30 g) of yogurt gently over the strawberries to create a clean white layer.
  6. Add 1/4 cup (40 g) of mandarin orange segments on top of the yogurt. Press lightly to keep them from rolling around.
  7. Add another 2 tablespoons (30 g) of yogurt.
  8. Place 1/4 cup (40 g) of sliced kiwi on top.
  9. Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of yogurt and smooth gently.
  10. Add 1/4 cup (40 g) blueberries, spreading evenly.
  11. Add another 2 tablespoons (30 g) of yogurt carefully.
  12. Add 1/4 cup (40 g) blackberries or purple grapes, sliced if large.
  13. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons (20 g) of granola on top for crunch.
  14. Optionally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5 g) of chia seeds for texture and nutrition.
  15. Garnish with a small fresh mint leaf on top.
  16. Chill the parfaits in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before serving for a cool and refreshing taste.

Notes

Use thick yogurt and pat fruit dry to keep layers distinct. Add granola just before serving to maintain crunch. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt. Assemble parfaits up to 8 hours ahead but add granola and mint garnish right before serving.
