Instructions

Prepare the Fruit – Wash and cut your fruit into bite-sized pieces. If using bananas, slice them thinly. If using berries, leave them whole or halve them for easier layering.
Start Layering – In a glass or bowl, add a layer of yogurt as the base. Use about ⅓ of the yogurt to start.
Add the First Fruit Layer – Spread a handful of fruit on top of the yogurt. This will add sweetness and freshness to the parfait.
Add Cereal or Granola – Sprinkle a layer of cereal or granola over the fruit. This gives the parfait a delightful crunch.
Repeat the Layers – Add another layer of yogurt, followed by more fruit and cereal. Continue layering until all ingredients are used.
Top It Off – Finish with a final sprinkle of fruit and cereal on top for an appealing presentation.
Serve Immediately – Enjoy your parfait right away for the best texture, as the cereal may soften if left too long.

Notes

Use a Clear Glass – A transparent cup or jar makes your parfait look more appetizing and lets you see the beautiful layers.
Keep Yogurt Thick – If using regular yogurt, consider straining it for a thicker consistency similar to Greek yogurt.
Balance the Sweetness – If your yogurt is unsweetened, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Crunch Factor – If you prefer a crunchier texture, keep the cereal or granola separate and sprinkle it on top just before eating.
Make-Ahead Option – For a grab-and-go breakfast, prepare parfaits in airtight containers and store them in the fridge. Add cereal right before eating to maintain its crunch.
