Directions for Rainbow Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

Let’s create this stunning Rainbow Fruit and Yogurt Parfait!

Prep the Yogurt

I stir 1 tbsp honey into 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt for a silkier, sweeter base, if desired. I taste and adjust sweetness to ensure a perfect fruit parfait.

Prep the Fruits

I rinse all fruits, then hull and slice ½ cup strawberries, segment ½ cup mandarins, chop ½ cup pineapple, peel and dice ½ cup kiwi, halve ½ cup grapes, and keep ½ cup blueberries whole. I cut pieces to similar sizes for even, vibrant layers in this layered yogurt treat.

Layer the Parfait

In 4 clear glasses, I spoon a layer of yogurt, followed by strawberries. I add a thin yogurt layer, then mandarin segments, continuing with yogurt, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, and grapes, alternating to fill each glass for a colorful Colorful Yogurt Dessert.

Add Crunch and Garnish

I sprinkle ½ cup granola over each parfait just before serving to keep it crunchy. I add a mint leaf for a fresh, eye-catching Rainbow Fruit and Yogurt Parfait.

Serve Immediately

I serve these fruit parfaits right away for the best texture, with creamy yogurt, juicy fruits, and crisp granola in every bite of this layered yogurt treat.
