Yummy Yogurt Parfait
Makes 1 serving, takes about 10 minutes
(Can be Vegetarian, Nut, and Gluten)
My kids love to make parfaits, not just because they can get creative and a little silly (no heat involved), but because they are delicious to eat! We never use flavored yogurt – only plain and organic. The ‘other’ stuff has WAY too much sugar in it, and the berries and honey add all of the sweetness needed. Grab some healthy gluten-free granola for a fiber-rich, carb-light, snack or breakfast. Its also fun to surprise mom (or dad) with pre-made parfaits first thing in the morning… maybe even with breakfast in bed!
o 1/2 Cup plain yogurt
o 1/2 Cup mixed berries (cut to the same size as a blueberry)
o 3 Tablespoons granola
o Local honey to drizzle
o 1 Cup (clear plastic wine glasses are our preference)
Step 1: Place 1 tablespoon of granola in the bottom of the cup
Step 2: Add a layer of yogurt – 2 tablespoons
Step 3: Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of berries, and drizzle with a little honey
Step 4: Use a spoon to flatten out what you have layered so far
Step 5: and add 1 more tablespoon of granola
Step 6: Layer in 2 tablespoons of yogurt, and more berries, and drizzle with a little honey
Step 7: Use the last tablespoon of granola for your top layer, but keep a little for the very top
Step 8: Layer the rest of the yogurt and berries, then sprinkle with a little granola
Step 9: Drizzle a little more honey on top
Step 10: Serve, or eat and enjoy!
