Grapefruit Yogurt Parfait with Seedy Granola

Grapefruit yogurt parfait is one of my favourite breakfasts especially when it’s topped with seedy granola. I’ll show you how to segment grapefruit and put it all together. Watch how to make this quick winter fruit favourite.

Segmenting & Storing Grapefruit

One grapefruit or honey pomelo (if you want to try something different) will make at least 2 good sized servings.  Segmenting the grapefruit, which is not difficult at all, is the most time consuming part of this recipe. To save on clean up, I like to segment a couple of grapefruits at a time. I store the extra segments in a sealed container in the fridge for a couple of days. The only danger in doing this is that my lovely family peeps steal and eat my nicely segmented fruit!

You can easily make this recipe to go by putting it in a mason jar or some other sealed container. If you add the granola, it will get a little soft, which I don’t really mind. To avoid this, simply pack the granola separately.

Parfait variations

When citrus is out of season, try other seasonal fruit. Here’s a look at a Strawberry Parfait using fresh, local strawberries.

In North America, grapefruits are readily available between January and March.  Sure you can find them year round, but this is when our North American citrus is at its peek and you’ll get the juiciest and most affordable grapefruit. Buy several and store them in a loose plastic bag (a little air movement prevents condensation from forming in the bag) in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.
