Starfruit Parfait

*CAUTION: Individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease should NOT eat starfruit.

INGREDIENTS:
1 small starfruit
½ cup chopped fruits of choice (we used banana, papaya & dragonfruit)
¾ cup low-fat plain yogurt
4 teaspoons honey
½ cup granola

DIRECTIONS:
1.) Wash hands well with soap & water. Rinse and rub produce with just water.
2.) Cut starfruit into slices.
3.) Cut a slit into a section of 2 slices of starfruit. Set aside.
4.) Chop up remaining starfruit into small pieces. Set aside. (You can remove the seeds if you want, but they are edible!)
5.) Add a thin layer of chopped fruit & starfruit to the bottom of an 8 oz clear jar or cup.
6.) Add a thin layer of yogurt.
7.) Add a drizzle of honey.
8.) Add a layer of granola.
9.) Repeat steps 5 – 8 once more until the jar or cup is full. Use the remaining ingredients to make one more parfait.
10.) Place the starfruit slice that you cut a slit into on the rim of the jar for each parfait.

*Serve immediately for best quality! If stored overnight, the parfait may become watery due to liquid being released from the fruit.

INGREDIENT SWAPS:
Instead of honey you can use maple syrup
Instead of granola you can use nuts, seeds, cereal
Instead of plain yogurt you can use flavored yogurt*

*Flavored yogurt generally has more sugar than plain yogurt, so if using flavored yogurt, decrease or remove the honey in this recipe.
