One of my favorite snacks to make is a fruit and yogurt parfait. Just like the one you can get at the fast food restaurant (only healthier). They’re super simple to make, and they look elegant enough for a summer brunch.
I make them by layering fruit and yogurt into a parfait, or wine glass. Then top them with a few more pieces of fruit and a sprinkle of granola cereal. I used strawberries, and blueberries, with organic plain yogurt here. You could also use bananas, peach slices, or blackberries with your favorite flavor of yogurt.
They’re also very yummy in the fall with apple slices, and vanilla yogurt topped with walnuts.
You can make individual servings, or layer several layers in a trifle bowl for a summer dessert. Serve the granola on the side, and let your guests create their own.
This sounds yummy!
I made this tonight! I used lowfat vanilla yogurt, fresh raspberries, granola and a little square of dark chocolate. It was very good. Thanks.
Mmmm, a little chocolate would be yummy with this.
