Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 medium banana, peeled
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries, divided
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dairy & Nut Butter
- 1 tablespoon crunchy natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup whole-milk vanilla strained (Greek-style) yogurt
Sweetener
- ½ teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Slice and mash banana: Slice the medium banana and place half of the slices (about ½ cup) in a medium 12-ounce jar. Sprinkle ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon over the banana slices, then mash with the back of a fork until no large chunks remain, creating a smooth base layer.
- Add blueberries: Top the mashed banana with 2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly over the banana layer.
- Spread peanut butter: Add 1 tablespoon of crunchy natural peanut butter and spread it into an even layer on top of the blueberries to add nutty flavor and texture.
- Layer yogurt: Spoon ¼ cup of whole-milk vanilla strained Greek-style yogurt over the peanut butter layer, smoothing it out evenly.
- Drizzle honey: Drizzle ½ teaspoon of honey evenly over the yogurt layer to add natural sweetness.
- Top with remaining fruit: Finish the parfait by placing the remaining banana slices and 2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries on top, completing the beautiful layered parfait.
Notes
- You can prepare this parfait ahead of time, but note that bananas will brown if they sit for too long. It is best served fresh, but can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- Greek-style yogurt is recommended for its thicker texture and higher protein content, but regular yogurt can be used if layering is not a priority.
- Feel free to substitute blueberries with other sweet, in-season fruits such as strawberries, chopped peaches, or halved cherries for variety.
- Using crunchy peanut butter adds texture, but smooth peanut butter can be substituted for a creamier consistency.
