Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat couscous
• 1.25 cups Boiling water
• 1 large Banana, mashed
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain and unsweetened
• 2 cups Mixed fresh fruit (e.g., berries, mango, kiwi)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts or granola (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat couscous with the boiling water. Cover the bowl with a lid or plate and let it sit for 5 minutes until the couscous is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.

Step 2

Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork to prevent clumping and set it aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and honey (if using) to the mashed banana and mix well.

Step 4

Fold the banana mixture into the cooled couscous, stirring until thoroughly combined to create the pudding base.

Step 5

To assemble the parfait, begin by spooning a layer of the banana couscous pudding into a clear glass or bowl.

Step 6

Add a layer of Greek yogurt on top of the couscous mixture, followed by a layer of mixed fresh fruit.

Step 7

Repeat the layers until the glass is full, finishing with a layer of fruit on top for visual appeal.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top for added crunch and texture.

Step 9

Chill the parfait in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes if desired, or serve immediately.
