Ingredients:
- Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- Fresh fruits (berries, sliced bananas, chopped mango, etc.)
- Granola (look for low-sugar or homemade options)
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions:

- Add Fruits: Add a layer of your chopped fruits on top of the yogurt.

- Final Touches: Top the parfait with a drizzle of honey for natural sweetness and some nuts or seeds for added texture and nutrition.
- Enjoy: Grab a spoon and enjoy your homemade fruit and yogurt parfait!
