  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 cups low-fat yogurt (plain or flavored)
– 2 cups granola (your choice of flavor)
– 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
– 1 cup banana slices
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt)
– 1/4 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, chopped)
– Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating these Mini Frozen Yogurt Parfaits is a straightforward and enjoyable process. Follow these steps for a fabulous treat:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the berries and slice the bananas. If using plain yogurt, mix it with the vanilla extract and honey (or syrup) in a bowl to sweeten it.

2. Choose Your Cups: Select small cups or jars to layer your parfaits. Glass cups will present beautifully.

3. Layer the Ingredients: Start by adding a layer of yogurt at the bottom of each cup, filling it about a quarter full.

4. Add Granola: Sprinkle a layer of granola over the yogurt layer, filling it halfway.

5. Fruit Layer: Add a layer of mixed berries over the granola. You can use a single type of berry or a combination for a colorful effect.

6. Banana Slices: Add a layer of banana slices next. This will enhance the texture and flavor.

7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with yogurt, granola, and fruit until the cups are filled, leaving a little space at the top.

8. Top It Off: Finish off with a final dollop of yogurt on top. Add nuts for a crunchy texture and some extra berries for decoration.

9. Cover and Freeze: Once your parfaits are fully assembled, cover them with plastic wrap or lids. Place them in the freezer for at least two hours to set.

10. Serve: When ready to serve, remove them from the freezer. Let them sit for a few minutes at room temperature for easier scooping, and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Following these steps will ensure that your Mini Frozen Yogurt Parfaits turn out beautifully every time!
