Berry Breakfast Parfaits
Breakfast parfaits almost don’t even count as recipes because they’re so incredibly easy to make. Take soy yogurt, granola, and fruit, then layer away—that’s it. Yes, it’s super-easy, but that doesn’t mean the end result is boring.
The crunchy granola and cool creamy yogurt offer a wonderful contrast. The variety of fruits—you can use almost any type of fruit you like—results in sweet bursts of flavor and healthy vitamins.
I know—”parfait” and “healthy” are two words that you don’t always find together. Dessert parfaits are typically made by layering ice cream, not yogurt, with other not-so-healthy ingredients. But when you replace the ice cream with soy yogurt and opt for fruits and a little granola, you’re left with a delicious and healthy breakfast treat.
