Preparation

Mix the yogurt

Layer the parfaits
  1. Divide the yogurt evenly among four clear glasses, about 1/4 cup of yogurt to each glass.
  2. Top each layer with a spoonful of honey-glazed fruit.
Repeat layering

Garnish

Chill and serve

  2. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, consider adding coconut milk or almond milk to your yogurt mixture. Introduce seasonal fruits or add nut butter for variety. Set up a parfait bar for group servings.
