For my parfaits, I layer 1/4 cup of low fat vanilla yogurt (greek yogurt is yummy in this recipe, too!), 2 medium strawberries, sliced, then 2 tablespoons granola. Repeat for a 2nd layer (so you use 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup granola & 4 strawberries total.) It takes about 3 minutes – a quick trip to breakfast heaven. You could mix it up with other berries, which would be totally delish!
I’m a creature of habit, so I’ve been having this same breakfast for weeks now, and I’m slowly seeing progress on the scale. With recipes like these, I don’t even really feel like I’m on a diet 🙂
Oh yum! Yogurt and granola are one of my favorite combos. I’ll have to try this recipe soon. Thanks!! And congrats on your progress!
I love a good parfait, especially homemade. Its a nice mix up from the normal cereal every morning. Great recipe!

Yum! I will definitely have to make some of that granola! I am trying to eat healthier this year and this is perfect. I make green smoothies for my hubby and myself for breakfast when we are eating right. They are delish! I will have to post them on my blog soon….:) Thanks for the visit and comment the other day! I appreciate it so much. Have a blessed day…..

Thank you for the recipe. I’ll try it! Sounds like a good change from shredded wheat.
