Fruit and granola parfait

This fresh fruit treat is as pretty to look at as it is delicious to eat. It’s made with generous layers of fresh fruit and berries, granola, and soy yogurt flavored with bananas. It’s presented in a similar fashion to an ice cream sundae. Breakfast treat or dessert, you choose. Recipe from Vegan Bites: Recipes for Singlesby Beverly Lynn Bennett.

Makes 1 large serving

• 1 medium banana, thinly sliced (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 kiwi, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and sliced (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/3 cup blueberries
• 1/3 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 container (6 ounces) plain or vanilla soy yogurt
• 1 cup granola

Divide the banana evenly between two small bowls and set one bowl aside. Add the kiwi, blueberries, and strawberries, stir gently to combine, and set aside. Using a fork, mash the reserved banana slices, keeping them a bit chunky. Add the soy yogurt and stir until well combined.

To assemble the parfait, layer half of the fruit mixture, half of the granola, and half of the yogurt mixture in the bottom of a large glass or bowl. Repeat the layering procedure with the remaining fruit, granola, and yogurt mixture. Serve immediately.
