Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the banana into thin rounds, and crush the vanilla wafers into small pieces.
  2. Step 2: Layer the Yogurt - In your parfait glass, add a generous layer of the vanilla Greek-style yogurt. This forms the creamy base of your parfait.
  3. Step 3: Add the Granola - On top of the yogurt, sprinkle a layer of granola cereal. This will add a delightful crunch to your parfait.
  4. Step 4: Add Banana Slices - Now, place a layer of the sliced bananas over the granola. The bananas bring a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Include Crushed Vanilla Wafers - Sprinkle the crushed vanilla wafers on top of the banana layer, creating a deliciously sweet and crunchy topping.
  6. Step 6: Repeat the Layers - Repeat the layers of yogurt, granola, bananas, and crushed wafers until you reach the top of the glass. Aim for at least two layers for a well-rounded parfait.
  7. Step 7: Add Whipped Cream (Optional) - If you're feeling indulgent, top your parfait with a dollop of whipped cream. It adds an extra touch of sweetness and a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, choose a low-fat or non-fat yogurt.
  • Try adding berries for a burst of color and flavor.
  • Substitute crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits for the vanilla wafers.
