Granola & Yogurt Parfait with Fresh Fruit

Ingredients

  • ½ - 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt for extra protein and thickness is excellent)
  • ½ cup (or more!) of your OOA Honey & Nut Granola OR Fruit & Nut Granola
  • ½ cup fresh fruit, sliced or berries (e.g., sliced banana, berries, mango, kiwi, apple)
  • Optional garnishes:
    • Drizzle of honey or maple syrup (if you prefer more sweetness)
    • Sprinkle of extra nuts or seeds (if desired)
    • A few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color

Instructions

Equipment:

  • Glass or bowl
  • Spoon

Instructions:

1. Layer the Parfait (for a pretty presentation):

  • Spoon about half of your yogurt into the bottom of a glass or bowl.
  • Add about half of your granola over the yogurt.
  • Layer with half of your fresh fruit.
  • Repeat the layers: remaining yogurt, then remaining granola, and finally the rest of the fresh fruit.

2. Quick Granola Bowl:

  • Simply add yogurt to a bowl, top with your granola, and arrange fresh fruit over the top. This is faster if you're in a hurry!

3. Garnish and Serve:

  • If using, drizzle with a little extra honey or maple syrup.
  • Add a sprinkle of extra nuts or a fresh mint leaf for a beautiful finish.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Most of Your Granola:

  • Granola Type Matters:
    • Honey & Nut Granola: This will give your parfait a rich, sweet, and nutty flavor. It pairs beautifully with a slightly tart yogurt and any fruit.
    • Fruit & Nut Granola: This adds extra chewiness and a variety of fruit flavors. You might not need as much additional fresh fruit, or you can complement the fruits already in the granola.
  • Yogurt Choice:
    • Plain Yogurt: Great if you want to control the sweetness. You can add honey or maple syrup to taste.
    • Vanilla Yogurt: Adds a nice subtle sweetness and flavor that complements granola well.
    • Greek Yogurt: Thicker, creamier, and higher in protein, making for a more satisfying meal.
  • Fruit Pairing:
    • Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries): Always a classic and refreshing choice.
    • Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
    • Mango/Pineapple: For a tropical twist, especially with the honey and nut granola.
    • Apples/Pears: Sliced thin, they add a crisp texture.
  • Other Uses for Your Granola:
    • Cereal Replacement: Simply pour milk over it and enjoy!
    • Smoothie Booster: Add a spoonful or two to your morning smoothie for extra texture, flavor, and nutrients.
    • Muffin or Bread Topping: Sprinkle some over muffins, quick bread, or even fruit crumbles before baking for a crunchy topping.
    • Energy Bites/Bars (No-Bake): Combine with nut butter, a little more honey/maple syrup, and perhaps some mashed banana. Press into a pan, chill, and cut into squares. (This would be a more involved recipe if you'd like one!)
    • Ice Cream Topping: A fantastic crunch over a scoop of vanilla or fruit-flavored ice cream.
    • Salad Topping (Savory Granola): While your granola is sweet, plain versions can be used in salads. Your honey/fruit granola could work sparingly in a fruit-based salad for crunch.

This recipe is all about enjoying the delicious granola you already have in a fresh, simple way!
