Instructions

Prepare the Tapioca Pearls: Begin by soaking the tapioca pearls (sago) in water for approximately 4 hours. After soaking, drain the water and transfer the pearls into a pot with 1/2 cup of fresh water. Boil them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and tender. Once cooked, set them aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Fruits: While the tapioca pearls are boiling, slice the bananas and cube the apple. Make sure the fruits are fresh and ready to be mixed.
-
Assemble the Parfait: In a mixing bowl, combine the boiled tapioca pearls with the yogurt (curd). Add the sliced bananas, cubed apples, and roasted sliced almonds for that extra crunch and richness. Sprinkle the anardana powder (pomegranate seed powder) for a unique flavor boost.
-
Add the Sweetness: Drizzle honey generously over the mixture to bring everything together with a touch of natural sweetness.
-
Serve: Your Sago Yogurt Parfait is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it as a wholesome breakfast or snack, pairing it with a Spinach Omelette or a Broccoli Pesto Open Toast for a well-rounded, healthy meal.
Tips and Variations
- You can swap the fruits with any other seasonal options like berries, kiwi, or mango to adjust the flavor profile.
- For added sweetness, a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla essence can be mixed into the yogurt.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the regular yogurt with almond or coconut yogurt.
This Sago Yogurt Parfait is not only delicious but packed with nutrients from the fruits, yogurt, and almonds, making it a great way to fuel your day in a healthy, satisfying way!
