Banana (Mai‘a)
Banana parfait
Get ready for layers of yum! This banana parfait mixes creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and sweet local bananas for a tasty treat that keiki will love to build and eat. Perfect for snack time or a quick dessert, it’s a fun (and ono!) way to enjoy local flavors!
INGREDIENTS
1 apple banana
1 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 cup granola
1/2 Tablespoon honey
INSTRUCTIONS
Have keiki peel the banana.
With a plastic or butter knife, demonstrate and guide them in cutting the banana into slices.
In a clear cup or container, have keiki layer the ingredients: first yogurt, then granola, then banana slices. Repeat to form a second layer, then drizzle honey on top. Enjoy!
TIP: Try to find local bananas (often smaller and sweeter than imported bananas), granola, and honey. Explain to keiki that these foods came from farms and businesses in Hawai‘i.
