Greek Yogurt Parfait Recipe
Description
The Greek Yogurt Parfait Recipe uses plain nonfat Greek yogurt blended with lime zest and honey to provide a subtly sweet base. Half of the fresh kiwi (or chosen berries) is pureed and folded into the yogurt, giving it a bright fruity flavor and slight color variation. This mixture is layered with crunchy granola and remaining diced fruit to provide texture contrast and fresh bursts of flavor.
Assembling in individual glasses or mason jars creates an appealing layered dessert or breakfast option. The optional mint garnish adds a touch of herbal freshness to the presentation and flavor.
