Recipe steps

Prepare the fruits

Peel and cut the kiwi into small, regular cubes. Do the same with the mango and strawberries. Keep each fruit in a separate bowl to make assembly easier.

Flavor the yogurt

In a bowl, mix the plain yogurt with the lemon or orange juice. This little touch of acidity will awaken all the flavors!

Assemble the parfaits

In pretty transparent glasses, alternate the layers: a spoonful of flavored yogurt, then cubes of mixed fruits. Repeat until your glasses are full.

Finish and serve

Finish with a final layer of mixed fruits on top for visual effect. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Tips and variations

  • Mix things up according to the season: peaches and apricots in summer, apples and pears in fall, or even frozen berries in winter.
  • For a more indulgent version, add a pinch of homemade granola or some almond flakes between the layers.
  • Greek yogurt will bring more creaminess and protein if you want a more substantial breakfast.

Anti-waste tips

Fruits that are a bit too ripe? Perfect! They’ll be even sweeter and more fragrant in your parfait.

Save the kiwi peels: well washed, they’re edible and provide extra fiber.

Leftover yogurt approaching its expiration date? Turn it into a smoothie with your parfait fruits!
