Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients. Dice the kiwi, chop the walnuts (or pecans), and measure out the yogurt, granola, and pomegranate seed powder. -
Whisk the Yogurt
In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with the vanilla extract until smooth. This step adds a subtle flavor to the yogurt, making it even creamier and more delicious. -
Assemble the Parfaits
In two serving bowls or glasses, layer a spoonful of granola at the bottom. This will serve as the base of the parfait and add a lovely crunch. -
Add Yogurt and Fruit Layers
Divide the whisked yogurt mixture and spoon it over the granola layer in each bowl. Add diced kiwi and a sprinkle of anardana powder on top of the yogurt, creating a vibrant fruit layer. -
Finish with Nuts and Honey
Top with chopped walnuts (or pecans) for an extra layer of crunch and richness. Drizzle a bit of honey on top for sweetness, if desired. -
Serve and Enjoy
Serve this Granola Yogurt Parfait with Fresh Kiwi & Pomegranates immediately for a fresh, crunchy breakfast. For a perfect pairing, enjoy it alongside a glass of Mulled Apple Juice or Carrot Pineapple Orange Juice.
Tips and Variations
- Fruit Swaps: Feel free to swap kiwi for other seasonal fruits such as berries, mango, or pineapple.
- Granola Options: Try using a flavored granola (like cinnamon or nutty varieties) to add a new dimension of flavor.
- Sweetener Alternatives: If you’re looking for a more natural sweetness, agave syrup or maple syrup can replace honey.
This Granola Yogurt Parfait is not just easy to make but also customizable to suit your taste. It’s a wholesome way to start your day on a refreshing and nutritious note!
