Tropical Parfait


I ran across this idea the other day and thought what a wonderful, healthy, refreshing summer snack.  And I was right!  I'm not a big yogurt fan, but this just looked too good and too easy not to try.  Right again.

No recipe, no cooking (except for toasting the coconut).  A wonderful blend of textures and color....the creaminess of the yogurt versus the crunchiness of the kiwi seeds, almonds, and coconut (or don't taste the coconut for a chewier texture).  And a beautiful presentation.

TROPICAL PARFAIT  (serves 1)

one container of pineapple Greek yogurt
1 kiwi, peeled and cubed
1 mango, peeled and cubed (ripened mangos tend to fall apart a bit....for a perfect presentation, use the slices of mangos found in jars in your produce department)
sliced almonds
coconut (to toast, place a bit on aluminum foil, bake in a 350F oven....check and stir every 2-3 minutes until brown)

Layer starting with the yogurt on the bottom, followed by the mango and kiwi, top with almonds and coconut.
