Hi everyone! All of a sudden, my daughter wants yogurt Parfaits for breakfast. How coincidental since I just arranged for Fresh Direct to come to our school to provide a healthy nutrition workshop where they featured yogurt parfaits.
A make-it-yourself- yogurt -parfait can help encourage kids to feel like they are a part of the cooking process and they will be more likely to eat it! Try it, they’ll love it!
Yogurt Parfait with Granola and Blueberries
1/2 cup 0% fage brand yogurt on the bottom (preferably that brand but any will do)
2 TBS blueberries or other fruit
1/3 cup granola
honey (optional)
a few chocolate chips (optional)
In a fancy dish:On the bottom, add the yogurt, then the granola, then the fruit then the chips or honey if you’re using. Enjoy!

Great picture! This sounds yummy. I think I'll use whole milk plain yoghurt (I love Stonyfield Farms)….I'm trying to help my hubby regain some of the weight he lost after his knee surgery.
How nice to NEED to gain weight. Enjoy that! Add some extra nuts!
I made a parfait this morning (read your post yesterday night and was inspired). Lucky for us we went blueberry picking yesterday so I had plenty of those to add. I used plain, whole Fage, b/c that's what we still give Evan (he's about to turn two so I think I better start buying reduced fat for him (?)). I added ground flax seeds and water to thin it out a little and it was DELICIOUS!!! I went out and bought reduced fat Fage just for me and I can't wait to have it again tomorrow morning.
So glad you liked it! I had it for breakfast today too, minus the chocolate chips and honey. It keeps you full for a long time, too.
