How to make yogurt granola parfait
Add granola to two serving bowls. I have added homemade granola, but store-bought granola also works fine.
On top of the granola, layer with yogurt as much as you need.
Add another layer of kiwi fruit cuts.
Again, add a layer of Greek yogurt.
Make another layer of mango cuts. I have made mango scoops, but mango chunks can also be added.
