Start by preparing the fruit. Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel. Slice the strawberries and set aside.
Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. Add the banana slices to the bowl with the berries.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the sweetener and vanilla are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
Take four serving glasses or bowls and start layering the parfaits. Begin by spooning approximately 1/2 cup of the coconut yogurt mixture into the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of mixed berries and banana slices over the yogurt layer. Try to distribute the fruit evenly among the glasses.
Sprinkle a layer of granola over the fruit in each glass, using about 3-4 tablespoons per glass.
Top the granola with a few chopped nuts and a sprinkle of chia seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
Repeat the layers, starting again with the coconut yogurt, until the glasses are full or the ingredients are used up.
Finish with a final drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top, if desired, and garnish with a few additional berries or a sprinkle of nuts for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing dairy-free fruit and yogurt parfait!
