Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, diced into small pieces

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or vanilla based on preference)

1 cup granola (select your favorite variety for texture)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for additional flavor)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adds warmth)

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for a hint of spice)

1/4 cup crushed almonds (optional, for a delightful crunch)

Fresh mint leaves (for a vibrant garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches with honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Gently toss the ingredients together until the peaches are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature; this marinating process will elevate the flavors.

    Make the Yogurt Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Taste the yogurt and if you prefer a sweeter flavor, feel free to add an extra drizzle of honey.

      Assemble the Parfaits: Take serving glasses or small bowls and begin layering the parfaits. Start with a generous spoonful of the yogurt mixture at the bottom. Next, add a layer of the marinated peaches, followed by an even layer of granola. Repeat the layering process (yogurt, peaches, granola) until the glasses are filled to the top, finishing with a decorative layer of peaches and a sprinkle of granola for visual appeal.

        Add Crunch and Garnish: If desired, sprinkle the top of each parfait with some crushed almonds for an added texture. For the final touch, place one or two fresh mint leaves on top of each parfait for a beautiful and refreshing garnish.

          Chill: Carefully place the assembled parfaits into the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to blend harmoniously.

            Serve: Once chilled, these delightful parfaits can be enjoyed as a refreshing breakfast, a healthy snack, or a light dessert whenever the craving strikes!
