Eating breakfast that looks like a tempting dessert is a pretty awesome way to start the day. You could go with pancakes covered in stewed fruit, streusel covered sky-high muffins or rich and buttery pastries. All delicious, but probably best saved for a weekend treat.
These breakfast parfaits though? Delicious, dessert-like AND healthy!
Made with Yoplait Light yogurt, a little crunchy granola and fresh fruit, they’re perfect for a waist-line friendly breakfast on the go.
Spoon it all into a cute little mason jar, screw the lid on and throw it in your bag for a breakfast or snack you can look forward to when you get to the office.
I made three fruit combinations using Yopait Light Blueberry Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt and Very Vanilla Yogurt all found at my local Jewel-Osco. The first I had for breakfast, and then I placed the other two in the fridge, thinking I’d save them for the next day.
That was never going to happen once my two hungry kids got home from school though! The look on their faces when they opened the fridge door and spotted those two parfaits? There was no way I was winning that one.
Ideally they should be made and eaten the same day (to prevent the granola going soft). If you want to make them the night before, just leave out the granola and wrap it up in a little bag. Then you can sprinkle it on top when you come to eat it.
I’ve got my eye on the red raspberry and banana cream pie yogurts for my next parfaits – if I can get to them before the kids that is!
