- ½ peach peeled and diced (or other seasonal fruits)

Recipe history:
The parfait is a dessert that has its origins in an ancient culinary tradition, but has evolved over time into various forms, becoming a favorite of modern breakfasts. This simplified version, which requires no cooking, is ideal for moments when you want to enjoy something healthy and tasty without spending hours in the kitchen. Whether you prepare it for breakfast or as a snack during the day, the yogurt parfait is an excellent choice.

Step by step:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients ready. Wash the fruits well, peel the peach, and cut it into small cubes. If using blackberries, ensure they are fresh and well washed.

2. Layering the ingredients: Take two cups or individual glasses. Start by adding a teaspoon of dandelion honey to each glass. This will be the sweet base of the parfait and will help blend the flavors.

3. Adding the cereals: Choose the cereals you like best between the honey and cocoa ones. Alternate the layers of cereals in each glass, starting with the honey cereals followed by the cocoa ones. This will create an interesting contrast both visually and in taste.

4. Including the yogurt: Open each Greek yogurt with a teaspoon to make it more fluid, then add it over the cereals. This will add a creamy texture and rich flavor to the parfait.

5. Adding the fruits: Sprinkle the peach pieces and blackberries on top of the yogurt. The fruits add a splash of freshness and vitamins, making this dish even healthier.

6. Decorating: Finish with a few leaves of lemon balm or mint, which will not only provide a pleasant appearance but will also add a note of freshness to the taste.

7. Serving: You can enjoy the parfait immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This waiting time will allow the flavors to blend better, but if you’re impatient, it’s just as delicious right away.

Useful tips:
- Ingredient variations: Experiment with different types of cereals, flavored yogurts, or fruits. For example, you can use coconut yogurt for an exotic note or whole grain cereals for an extra fiber boost.
- Substitutions: If you don’t have dandelion honey, you can use maple syrup, agave, or even a more tart fruit sauce to vary the taste.
- Nutritional aspect: This recipe is rich in protein due to the Greek yogurt, and the fruits are excellent sources of vitamins and antioxidants. It’s an ideal breakfast to start the day with energy.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use low-fat yogurt?
Yes, you can opt for low-fat yogurt to reduce calories, but the fattier yogurt provides a creamier texture.

2. What other fruits can I use?
Berries, bananas, kiwi, mango, or even apples are all excellent options.
