My Favorite Fruit Parfait

This might be obvious, but I am a bit of a fruit-a-holic. I probably eat around ten different fruits every day! HA! Especially navel oranges - my gosh I cannot get enough oranges. Okay, so this fruit parfait has been a daily staple in my life for a couple of months now. I just can't seem to get enough. It is so simple I almost didn't blog it....but really, don't we all want super simple, healthy meals we can pull together quickly? 

There isn't much of a recipe here - just an outline. I cut up or throw in all the fruit I am feeling at the moment - this photo shows an orange (there is always an orange- see statement above) and berries (blackberries are my favorite, but also I like raspberries, blueberries and strawberries), I just bought some fresh cherries (LOVE!), and when I have fresh pineapple I throw that in too. You can use whatever you love and whatever you have (cut up grapes are another fave, and I sometimes do chopped apples and pears). Okay you get the idea. Simple. Read on....

Ingredients:

Any of your favorite fruits (try to get at least five different kinds for lots of anti-oxidants, vitamins, fiber, natural energy!!):

Orange, peeled & cut

Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries

Cherries, pitted

Fresh pineapple, chopped

Apples & pears, chopped

Kiwi

Grapes, sliced in half 

Banana, sliced

Mangos, peeled and chopped

Cantaloupe or honeydew, chopped

Fresh peaches or nectarines, chopped

Pomegranate seeds

Your favorite yogurt, I use CocoJune vegan yogurt in Chamomile Vanilla (the best!)

Drizzle of honey

Sprinkling of seeds or nuts, I have hemp seeds pictured, but I also like to add chopped walnuts or almonds

Directions:

Prepare the fruits you are using by washing, peeling, chopping, etc. Place in a dish or parfait glass. Drizzle with a bit of honey, dollop with yogurt, sprinkle with seeds or nuts and enjoy! 

Sometimes I will prep a few days worth of fruit so that when I want it for breakfast or lunch (or dessert!) I it is ready to go in a container in the fridge. Enjoy!
