If you’re looking for a dessert that’s both healthy and indulgent, a Fruit Parfait is the perfect choice. Easy to make, visually stunning, and loaded with nutrients, this no-cook recipe brings together creamy yoghurt, crunchy granola, and fresh seasonal fruits in one delightful glass.

It’s a versatile dish that works just as well for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or a light dessert after dinner. What makes this parfait stand out is its balance of textures and flavours—the creaminess of yoghurt, the natural sweetness of fruits, and the satisfying crunch of granola or fruit loops. Each spoonful feels wholesome yet indulgent, offering the perfect combination of nourishment and pleasure. The fruits provide a mix of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre, while yoghurt adds gut-friendly probiotics and protein, making it a power-packed treat that keeps you full and energised.

This recipe is also incredibly adaptable. You can use any combination of fruits you have on hand—from juicy oranges and bananas to berries and grapes, and choose between plain or flavoured yoghurt depending on your preference. For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle a bit of honey or sprinkle some seeds or nuts on top.

Perfect for busy mornings or a quick pick-me-up, this fruit parfait is a great way to add colour and nutrition to your day. It’s proof that eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring; sometimes, all it takes is a few simple ingredients layered beautifully to create something both nourishing and delicious.

Note:
  • Double the ingredients when cooking for more people to ensure everyone gets a fluffy stack.
  • Swap out eggs for mashed bananas, yogurt, or flaxseed mix if you're vegetarian or allergic to eggs.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra soft and airy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to get fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
  • Add vanilla extract or cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or honey for a delicious and healthy twist.
