Homemade Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits make a great after school snack, healthy dessert and quick, nutritious breakfast! They’re so easy to assemble, which makes it a great recipe to get your Kids in the Kitchen with you!
The scrumptious crunch factor that makes yogurt parfaits such a treat is granola, of course. I have two delicious granola recipes, depending on your dietary preferences:
• Grain-free, dairy-free granola made with assorted soaked nuts, and
• Soaked oats granola made with rolled oats (with gluten-free option).
If you’ve joined us for The Whole30 Program, you can still enjoy a delicious crunch-factor and an extra touch of protein by adding a mix of your favorite nuts and seeds. Some excellent Whole30-compliant options include:
• Almonds • Flax Seeds
• Pecans • Sunflower Seeds
• Pistachios • Pumpkin Seeds
• Walnuts
Just be sure to pair this with a side of healthy protein, such as boiled eggs or nitrate-free, sugar-free bacon {or both!}.
Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits aren’t the only way to enjoy healthy homemade yogurt … you can also make your own Fabulous Fruit-on-the-Bottom Yogurt Cups as well. And oh my, are they yummy!
Ingredients
- • Plain homemade dairy or non-dairy yogurt
- • Fresh organic berries of your choice (such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.)
- • Raw honey (liquid raw honey is easier to combine into yogurt)
- • Homemade granola such as my delicious grain-free granola or gluten-free soaked oats granola
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add about 3/4 cups of plain whole milk yogurt (or coconut milk yogurt) for each person you plan to serve.
- Whisk in enough raw honey to reach desired sweetness.
- Add about 3-4 large spoonfuls of the honey-sweetened yogurt to a half-pint mason jar or small bowl.
- Top with a layer of fresh fruit and homemade granola of your choice.
- Add another layer of yogurt and top with additional fresh fruit and a sprinkling of granola. Enjoy!
