Yogurt Parfait

Stephanie Gallagher
I like to serve these yogurt parfaits for a healthy snack, breakfast or dessert. This yogurt fruit parfait is made with plain Greek yogurt. It's thicker than other yogurts, giving this yogurt parfait a rich consistency. Greek yogurt is also loaded with calcium and protein. Look for unsweetened Greek yogurt for this yogurt parfait.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 cup non-fat, low-fat or regular plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp. honey (or more if you prefer a sweeter yogurt parfait)
  • 1/3 cup sweetened granola, such as Trader Joe's praline pecan granola

Preparation:

  1. Toss frozen berries with sugar in a microwave-safe container. Heat on high 30-60 seconds, until berries are no longer frozen. They should be soft and juicy. Divide berries and their juices among two glasses or cups.

  2. Top each with 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. Drizzle 1/2 tsp. of honey (or more if you prefer a sweeter yogurt parfait) over yogurt.

  3. Top with granola.
Makes 2 yogurt parfaits.
