Super easy and fast to make this sweet alternative to traditional sweets will be sure to satisfy your taste for something fresh, crunch, or sweet. Since fresh fruits and berries are starting to come into season I plan on adding back in this summer staple to my regular rotation!
Ingredients:
- A couple of spoonfuls of plain or vanilla yogurt (I prefer vanilla which is sweeter, but regular yogurt is great if you like its tartness)
- Assortment of fresh berries ie. raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries
- Granola of choice (here we used Honey Bunches of Oats – Just clusters)
You can use low-fat yogurt and if you want you can make your own granola so you can control the ingredients. In case you want to try making your own granola check out a recipe by alton brown click here
I also tend to go with more berries and yogurt and really try to limit the granola, but it’s really to your tastes the ratio of each in your take!

To add an elegant/refined touch I like making this parfait in a martini glass or champagne flute so you get a really nice view of the layers from the side- plus it makes you feel like you’re getting a luxe dessert at an outdoor cafe (at least that’s what I like to think)
blueberries dropped leisurely on top
raspberries next (you could also add strawberries & blackberries- the more the berrier!)
bon appetit!
