Ingredients for A Tropical Fruit Parfait

  • 1 ripe banana
  • Apple Juice
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 kiwi
  • Granola Cereal

How to Make A Tropical Fruit Parfait

  1. Peel and slice 1 ripe banana. Add to a blender with 2 tablespoons of fruit juice (orange or pineapple recommended). Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the banana puree into a bowl and set aside.
  3. Peel and chop 1 ripe mango and 1 kiwi. Add to the blender (clean if necessary). Blend until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
  4. In a large mug or parfait glass, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of banana puree, followed by 1/4 cup granola, then a layer of the mango-kiwi puree. Repeat the layers until the mug is almost full.
  5. Top with a sprinkle of granola and a few slices of fresh mango or kiwi (optional).
  6. Enjoy your tropical escape immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
