Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by prepping all your ingredients. Start by pulsing the multigrain digestive biscuits in a mixer or food processor until they form coarse crumbs. Set them aside for later use. Whisk the Greek yogurt with honey in a bowl until smooth and well-combined. Slice the seasonal fruits into bite-sized pieces and set them aside as well. -
Assemble the Parfait:
To create the parfait, take a serving jar or glass. Start by spooning in a layer of the crumbled multigrain digestive biscuits at the bottom. This layer will provide a nice crunch to your parfait. -
Layer the Yogurt and Fruits:
Next, add about 3 tablespoons of the Greek yogurt mixture on top of the biscuit crumble. Layer the fresh seasonal fruits over the yogurt. You can choose from a variety of fruits such as berries, sliced bananas, apples, or even tropical fruits like mangoes and kiwi. -
Add Chia Seeds:
Sprinkle chia seeds on top of the fruit layer. The chia seeds will not only add texture but also contribute healthy omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. -
Final Layer:
Add a bit more Greek yogurt on top of the chia seeds and fruits. Finish off the parfait with a final sprinkle of the crushed digestive biscuit crumbs. -
Chill and Serve:
Once your parfait is assembled, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the parfait to set. The coolness of the yogurt and fruit, paired with the crunch of the biscuits, creates a satisfying treat. -
Serve:
Serve the 5 Grain Greek Yogurt Fruit Parfait as a delightful snack at work, an evening treat at home, or even as a refreshing breakfast. For a wholesome morning meal, pair it with an Indian Style Masala Omelette Grilled Sandwich to kickstart your day with protein and energy.
