Start by preparing the fruit. Wash the berries thoroughly and slice any larger berries into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the banana into thin circles to ensure they are soft and easy to chew with braces.

Begin layering your parfait in a clear glass or bowl. Place a spoonful of yogurt at the bottom of the glass. This will be the foundation of your parfait.

Add a layer of the mixed berries and banana slices on top of the yogurt layer. Arrange them evenly so you get a bit of each fruit with every spoonful.

Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the fruit layer if you like your parfait a bit sweeter. This step is optional and can be adjusted according to your taste preference.

Continue to layer the yogurt and fruits alternately until the glass is almost full. Make sure to end with a layer of yogurt on top for a neat and tidy presentation.

If you are using granola and it's soft enough for braces, sprinkle a thin layer on top of the final yogurt layer. This adds a nice texture to the parfait but ensure it's not too hard or crunchy.

Garnish the top of the parfait with a few mint leaves for a fresh, aromatic touch. This step is also optional but adds a nice color contrast and a hint of freshness.

Once your parfait is assembled, you can either serve it immediately or place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill. Chilling the parfait can enhance the flavors and make it more refreshing, especially if it's a warm day.

Serve the chilled parfait and enjoy a delicious and braces-friendly treat that's perfect for any time of the day!
