Instructions
- Prepare Your Fruit: Peel and dice the ripe mangoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Wash, hull, and slice or chop the strawberries into pieces that are roughly the same size as the mango.
- Sweeten the Yogurt (if desired): If using plain Greek yogurt, sweeten it with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Grab Your Glasses: Use clear glasses, jars, or wine glasses to showcase the layers.
- Start Layering – Granola Base: Begin with a small layer of granola at the bottom of each glass, about 2-3 tablespoons per glass.
- Add the First Yogurt Layer: Spoon a generous layer of yogurt over the granola, spreading it gently.
- Introduce the Fruit Layers: Add a layer of diced mango over the yogurt, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries, distributing them evenly.
- Repeat the Layers: Continue layering with yogurt, mango, and strawberries, aiming for at least two full sets of fruit and yogurt layers.
- The Grand Finale: Finish with a colorful display of fruit on top, adding a sprinkle of granola, chia seeds, or a fresh mint leaf for garnish.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the parfaits fresh to keep the granola crisp.
