Make this for a healthier-than-cherry-pie dessert, or eat it for breakfast. Come on, you know it’s better than those “whole wheat” lucky charms even if there is chocolate in it.
Layer:
- vanilla yogurt
- sliced strawberries
- mini chocolate chips

Of course you can use whatever fruits you want, or nuts, or use plain yogurt and drizzle in some honey… this isn’t so much a recipe as an idea. Just in case you had forgotten all about parfaits and needed a reminder.
You did, didn’t you?
Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and brand new stay at home mom. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate on a budget, and keep a happy home. I breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
Oh my goodness, this looks awesome!
You know what else is tasty in Parfaits? Granola! I have a super recipe (which I scammed from Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch when I worked there), that’s easy to make:
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup oat or wheat bran (optional)
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup honey
Stir together oats, seeds, germ and bran. Add oil and honey. Mix well.
Spray bottom of 9×13 pan with non-stick spray, put wax paper on top (the spray holds the paper in place). Put granola in pan. Bake at 350, stirring every time tops turn brown (about every 7-10 minutes) until medium brown all over (3-4 stirrings, maybe).
Cool and add any or all of the following: raisins, craisins, sliced almonds, coconut.
Store in an airtight container.
