Mexican Yogurt con Fruta is like a parfait but better! Yogurt con Fruta isn’t limited to berries, you can use any fruit! Also the yogurt here is thinned out so that its drinkable and oh so delicious. Then it’s topped with coconut and granola! YUM!
If you go to a small Mexican ice cream or snack shop, you should be able to get these little yogurt con fruta. They come in plastic cups with a domed lid and a spoon or fork. It is also traditional to add raisins but I chose to leave those out.
I love these because since the granola stays on top so it doesn’t get all mushy like with traditional parfaits. I also love how much fruit there is! It is a great breakfast, snack, or dessert option.
My boyfriend is Mexican so that means I get to experience authentic Mexican food. Most people in California are familiar with Mexican-American food, which is really different than the traditional food. These little snacks are such a fun and healthy treat that most people wouldn’t associate with Mexican food.
If you make these, make sure to top them with my homemade granola recipe!
