Or sweetened condensed coconut milk


Optional Garnishes:
Chia seed
Hemp seed
Fresh mint
Fresh sweet herbs
Citrus zest
Raisins
Currants
Dried berries
Trail mix
Nuts
Etc



Minimal prep includes dicing the apples, quartering the strawberries and cutting the grapes in half.   


Supreme the orange if you wish, or cut into wedges or juice and zest.  Set everything out and let family and folks build their own Hungry Parfait. 

I start w/ yogurt on the bottom.  I use two 6 oz containers for varied flavor.  Today we used blueberry and vanilla bean.  You can choose non dairy or lactose free yogurts as well.  I like to make sure the yogurt makes contact w/ the granola to soften it up a bit. 


Layer in fresh fruit, mint, any optional garnishes and use a spoon to compress the parfait.  Layer in the sweetened condensed milk if using.  And put a dollop on the very top as well.  Festive and gorgeous, the fresh fruit and tangy yogurt flavors tantalize the tongue.


This parfait is great right away, or build them in mason jars and chill overnight to take to work or picnics.
