Breakfast recipes for the week need to be quick and healthy like this fresh fruit parfait. If you’re tired of the same old breakfast routine and crave a burst of flavor but with nutrition to kickstart your day, then this simple layered breakfast treat is your solution.
Creating fresh fruit and yogurt cups never get old with me. I can have a different version of them every day. Different fruit, different flavored yogurt, and toppings. I will alternate between these and this delicious Banana Split Smoothie Bowl. On the weekends, I may indulge in a Raspberry Almond Cappuccino Parfait.

Fresh Fruit Yogurt Parfait
Parfaits are super simple to make. In fact, they can be prepared the night before and have on hand for breakfast or after-school snacks. “Grab and go” foods are a lifesaver for busy mornings or when the kids are asking for something to snack on.
Not only are they delicious, but also incredibly healthy. Yogurt is a great source of protein and calcium, while fruits are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Granola adds a satisfying crunch and a boost of fiber. So, indulge your taste buds without compromising your health.
As with all foods, if you need to watch your sugar, take note that some of the ingredients can contain more sugar than you think. Granola, for example, can be high in sugar but there are brands out there that are not. I love the brand Love Crunch, especially the one with dark chocolate chunks. Makes me feel like I am having dessert for breakfast!
Timesaving Tips and Variations
- Use fresh in-season fruit when available but frozen fruit is perfect to use when it’s not.
- If using frozen fruit, you can thaw it out or just add it to the parfaits since it will thaw out pretty fast.
- You can make your own granola. This Homemade Granola recipe is easy and tasty.
- Use your favorite yogurt. I currently love using a coconut milk-based one.
- Pack parfaits in a lidded container (plastic or glass). Add granola separately in a resealable bag to keep it crunchy for lunchtime.
Any smoothie bowl, like this acai bowl, can be turned into parfaits to enjoy. These also make great lunchbox items for the kids.

Ingredients
As mentioned, you can use the ingredients you love. I’ve listed the ones I use the most. There are no amounts listed because you can use as little or as much as you wish. You’ll be layering the ingredients in the containers you choose.
- So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk

How to Assemble Fresh Fruit Yogurt Parfaits
When making the parfaits, layer the bottom of your container with yogurt, and then from there, be your own food artist. I like to add granola next then fruit and repeat the layers, topping with a little granola.
It’s as easy as that! Chill in the refrigerator if not serving immediately. They can be made the night before.

Perfect breakfast to give energy all day long. And yummy to boot.
We live on fruit and yogurt parfaits in our house! These one look so good.
These look so good. I would love to try these. TFS.
I love all of the different toppings and variations. I know my kiddos would love if I served these for breakfast.
I don’t think I have made yogurt parfaits since I last made granola. I will need to remedy that this weekend.
My kids would have lapped these up as an afternoon snack. Hmm, so would I!
Parfaits are such an easy way to add some elegance to a breakfast or brunch.
Lisa, this is on our breakfast table a lot. Yours look delicious.
One of my kids’ favorite treats!
Fruit Yogurt Parfaits are my go to light meal options as I simply love yogurt and fruits. I’ve actually not used frozen fruits and sometimes would love a change from the seasonal fruits. Will give frozen fruits a try.
Coconut milk yogurt. Who knew? These are really pretty. I’d love to serve these Christmas morning.
This is one of my favorite breakfast options. It feels like you’re almost eating dessert for breakfast!
Fruit yogurt parfaits also make a great snack! Yours are so colorful and pretty!
I am the absolute worst about eating breakfast and I need recipes like this in my life so I can just grab and go.
Love parfaits, these are really yum!
Yes they are indeed yummy!
