Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 large pink dragonfruit (pitaya), half pureed, half diced
  • 1/2 cup granola (your favorite kind)
  • 1/4 cup sliced mango
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your dragonfruit. Scoop out the flesh of one fruit. Blend half of the flesh until smooth to create a vibrant puree. Dice the remaining half into small cubes.
  2. If using, gently stir the honey or maple syrup into the Greek yogurt.
  3. Begin layering in two glasses. Place a spoonful of granola at the bottom of each glass.
  4. Add a layer of the white or light-colored yogurt mixture over the granola.
  5. Spoon half of the bright pink dragonfruit puree over the yogurt layer in each glass.
  6. Add a layer of diced dragonfruit pieces and sliced mango over the puree.
  7. Repeat the layers: yogurt, then the remaining dragonfruit puree, and finally the remaining diced dragonfruit.
  8. Top each parfait generously with the remaining granola and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your beautiful breakfast for two.

Notes

  • For an extra boost of protein, use Icelandic Skyr instead of Greek yogurt.
  • If you cannot find fresh dragonfruit, frozen chunks work well when slightly thawed.
  • Prepare the layers the night before, but keep the granola separate and add it just before serving to keep it crunchy.
  • You can substitute any tropical fruit you enjoy, like pineapple or passion fruit, for the mango.
