Mornin’ Sunshine Parfait

I love parfaits because they are ridiculously easy to make, but they’re pretty enough and girly enough to feel like a special treat. I like making them for weekend guests, or just for myself when I need a little pick-me-up. You’ll need parfait glasses or wine glasses for serving.

Baby Bonus:
It tastes like you’re having dessert for breakfast, but it has a healthy 13 g of protein to build Baby’s muscles.

Momma Must-Have:

Cool, creamy, and delightful. An easy way to entertain for brunch if the in-laws happen to visit.

  • 1½ cups fresh berries, preferably a mix of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
  • 2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup Hippie-Chick Granola or your favorite granola
  • 4 teaspoons honey

Preparation:

  1. Place about 1 tablespoon of berries in the bottoms of 4 glasses (enough to cover bottom of glass). Then, spoon about ¼ cup of the yogurt into each glass. Top with a little of the granola.
  2. Repeat layering the fruit and yogurt. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey over the yogurt layer, and top each parfait with the remaining granola. Grab a spoon and dig in!
