Yogurt Strawberry Parfaits for Breakfast
In my family, we always try to find something simple and easy to eat for breakfast. They say it’s the most important meal of the day, and I find that I feel better and have more energy if I eat something in the morning. Sometimes, we eat a piece of toast or some cereal. But today, I’ll be making yogurt fruit parfaits for everyone.
This recipe yields two servings, but feel free to increase the amounts if you want to make more. Yogurt parfaits are the perfect blend of sweetness and crunchiness in a smooth yogurt mixture. They are easy to make and assemble, and even your littlest one can make their own!
I love strawberries, so I’ll be layering mine with strawberries and granola. But you can choose any fruit combination that you wish! Enjoy for breakfast or as a snack during the day.
Yogurt Strawberry Parfaits
Ingredients
4 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt
2 cups granola (your choice)
8 strawberries, sliced thinly
Directions
Take a handful of granola and sprinkle on the bottom of a large glass. Layer on top with several heaping spoonfuls of the yogurt. Add the strawberry slices on top, followed by more yogurt.
Continue to layer until the glass is full. Serve immediately.
