Tropical Yogurt Parfait

This tropical yogurt parfait is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day. It's made with layers of creamy Greek yogurt, fresh mango, pineapple, and strawberries, and crunchy granola. The chia seeds add a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and the honey and vanilla extract add a touch of sweetness and flavor.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast that I could make ahead of time. I wanted something that was portable and easy to eat on the go, but I also wanted it to be flavorful and filling. This parfait fit the bill perfectly. It's easy to customize to your liking, and it's a great way to use up leftover fruit.
