Prep

Bright layers of mango, pineapple and papaya folded through creamy plain yogurt make a breakfast that looks more like a treat than a typical morning bowl. A sprinkle of granola on top adds a bit of crunch, and a light dusting of shredded coconut ties the tropical flavors together.

Naturally sweet, colorful, and easy to build, this is a genuinely kid-friendly breakfast that needs no cooking at all — kids can even layer their own cup, which tends to make them more eager to eat it. The fruit does the sweetening here, so it stays a lighter option than many packaged parfaits while still feeling special enough for a weekend morning or a fun before-school treat.

Use whatever tropical fruit is ripest and available — banana or kiwi work just as well if mango or papaya aren't on hand.
