Granola And Yogurt Breakfast Parfaits
Looking for a delicious way to start your day? Look no further!
Fruit and yogurt parfaits will make you feel like you are eating dessert for breakfast. I like that idea, don’t you?
Our granola and yogurt parfaits can be made ahead for a grab and go breakfast and are so easy to make that you can assemble them in the morning in just a few minutes.
If you like your granola to be softened then you’ll definitely want to make our breakfast parfaits the night before.
I made these breakfast parfaits with blueberries, strawberries and pineapple. You can make them with a combination of your personal favorite fruits.
You can also make these yogurt parfaits with just one fruit too.
Change it up every time. The choice is yours. That’s the beauty of making a recipe. You can customize it however you want to.
Granoa with Greek yogurt is a great combination and I made these breakfast parfaits with plain Greek yogurt but you can easily use your favorite flavored yogurt too.
Although I used a plain granola, there are a variety of granolas available that will taste delicious too. I especially love coconut almond granola and granola with raisins.
Any way you make this fruit parfait recipe, you’ll be kicking off your day on the right foot.

Storage
