Description

A colorful, layered parfait designed with children's gut health in mind — it combines probiotic natural yogurt with whole grain oatmeal, chia seeds, fruit compote, and mashed banana. The dish provides probiotic bacteria (from yogurt), fiber and prebiotics (oats, banana, chia seeds, optional inulin), vitamins, and antioxidants (berries). It is naturally sweet, visually appealing with layers in glasses, and has a pleasant, soft texture suitable for children. Great as a dessert after lunch, a healthy breakfast, or a snack; it encourages children with its colors and textures and supports proper gut microbiota through the combination of probiotics and prebiotic substances.

Preparation steps

Berry compote

1

Prepare the berry compote: place 300 g of mixed berries into a medium-sized saucepan, add 60 ml of water and 10 ml of lemon juice. If you prefer a sweeter compote, add 20 g of honey (optional). Set over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 6–8 minutes, stirring every 1–2 minutes. When the fruits have released their juice and some have broken down, mash a few berries with a spoon, but leave some whole for texture. The compote should thicken slightly — a spoonful of syrup should coat the back of the spoon.

Ingredients: Berry mix (frozen or fresh), Water, Lemon juice, Honey
Use a saucepan with a diameter of about 18 cm with a thick bottom to prevent the fruits from burning. A common mistake is boiling too vigorously — reduce the heat and stir more often. If you are using fresh berries, the cooking time may be shorter (about 4–6 minutes).

Oatmeal

2

Prepare a thick oatmeal: in a medium pot, add 160 g of oats, pour in 320 ml of milk, and place it over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon from the moment it starts heating to prevent the oats from sticking. When it begins to boil, reduce the heat and cook for 5–7 minutes, until the oatmeal absorbs most of the liquid and becomes thick. In the last minute, add 40 g of chia seeds, stir vigorously — the seeds will swell and give a creamy texture. After cooking, remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down.

Ingredients: Mountain oats, Milk 3.2%, Chia seeds
Use a pot with a thick bottom (diameter 16–18 cm). If the porridge is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk; if it's too thin, cook for another 1–2 minutes. A common mistake is infrequent stirring — it's easy to burn at the bottom.

Banana dough

3

In a bowl, mash 240 g of bananas with a fork until smooth (it should be uniform, without large lumps). Add 10 ml of lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance the flavor. If you are using cinnamon (optional), add 1–2 level teaspoons (2–4 g depending on preference) and mix. The mixture should be soft and creamy, easy to scoop with a spoon.

Ingredients: Banana (mashed), Lemon juice, Ground cinnamon, Inulin (probiotic prebiotic, optional)
Use a wide bowl and a sturdy fork or potato masher. If the bananas are very soft, work quickly to avoid making the mixture too runny. Additionally, you can add inulin (optional) — add 5 g to the mixture for prebiotic support.

Preparing the yogurt

4

In a large bowl, transfer 500 g of natural yogurt. If you are using inulin (optional) — add the remaining part (about 15 g) to the yogurt and mix thoroughly with a fork to distribute it evenly. The yogurt should be smooth and creamy; if you are using very thick yogurt, you can add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to make it easier to spread.

Ingredients: Probiotic natural yogurt, Inulin (probiotic prebiotic, optional), Honey
Use bowls and spoons for mixing. Additionally, you can sweeten the yogurt with a small amount of honey (optional) — don't overdo it to avoid disrupting the natural probiotic profile.

Parfait assembly

5

Prepare 4 transparent glasses or bowls (about 300–350 ml each). At the bottom of each, place a tablespoon (about 35 g) of thick oatmeal, then 30–35 g of yogurt, followed by 30–40 g of berry compote and 60 g of banana mixture. Repeat the layer: 30 g of oatmeal, 30 g of yogurt, and on top, 40–50 g of compote. The whole should create 3–4 layers: oatmeal → yogurt → fruit → banana → yogurt → compote. In total, each serving will weigh about 250–300 g.

Ingredients: Mountain oats, Probiotic natural yogurt, Berry mix (frozen or fresh), Banana (mashed), Chia seeds, Ground cinnamon
Use a large spoon and a small spatula for precise layering. A common mistake is pouring too much of the liquid layers — stick to the given weights to ensure the dessert looks aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, you can sprinkle the top with chia seeds or a bit of cinnamon.

Finishing and serving

6

Finish each serving with a sprinkle of chia seeds or cinnamon (optional). If your child enjoys crunchiness, you can add 1–2 tablespoons of crunchy granola or lightly toasted oats just before serving (not recommended for the youngest due to choking hazards). Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes.

Ingredients: Chia seeds, Ground cinnamon, Honey
Use a small measuring spoon to control the amount of the addition. Do not give honey to children under 1 year of age. If you are preparing the dessert in advance, leave the crunchy layer for the end.

Educational portion

7

Before serving, you can explain to the child that each layer has its purpose: yogurt provides good bacteria, the flakes and banana feed those bacteria (fiber and prebiotics), and the berries protect and are delicious. It's a simple way to encourage the child to eat gut-friendly foods.

This step is optional, but useful for building positive associations with healthy food for the microbiota. You can ask the child for help with layering (under the supervision of an adult).

Fun Fact

💡

The combination of probiotics (from yogurt) and prebiotics (fiber from oats, banana, and inulin) creates a synbiotic — a synergistic effect that may better support the gut microbiota than both components separately.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in clear glasses to showcase the layers — this increases appeal for children. For little ones, reduce the amount of chia seeds to avoid swallowing issues. Add a thin slice of orange or a mint leaf as a decoration.

🥡 Storage

Store the prepared parfait in the refrigerator for a maximum of 24 hours in an airtight container. If you plan to store it longer, keep the oatmeal and compote in separate containers, and layer them just before serving. Avoid freezing the finished parfait — the texture will change after thawing.
