Super simple, choose a pretty glass (martini glass not necessary) and gather your ingredients.
I love Noosa’s Vanilla Bean yogurt for these parfaits or if you have time, make up your own delicious, nutritious, easy and healthy Homemade Greek Yogurt!
I realize you can’t just “whip” up some homemade yogurt in a matter of minutes; good yogurt takes time.
Save the above recipe for another time, in the meantime, buy a good quality Greek vanilla yogurt.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Your creativity is your only limit!
- Vanilla Yogurt (Greek or Creamy) | Use other yogurts too if preferred. My favorite is either homemade or Noosa Vanilla Bean.
- Blueberries | this is of courses for the “blue” in red, white and blue, you could also use blackberries or boysenberries if you can find them.
- Strawberries | For the red! I also used raspberries, but you can also use pomegranate arils, which I used to decorate the top.
How to assemble a yogurt parfait
Place a piece of red fruit in the bottom of your glass; I chose a nice, fat, juicy raspberry and snuck a blueberry into the center.
Or tuck a white chocolate chip in each raspberry. Drizzle a spoonful of yogurt on top.
Now start layering, in a red-white-blue pattern.
I used raspberries and strawberries for my red and blueberries for my blues, but blackberries would work great as well. So would pomegranate arils for red!
Finish it off with all of the colors and maybe even a sprinkle of shaved coconut to enhance the white!
Be safe today and may God bless America, land of the free — home of the brave!
I also recommend making these in mason jars or something similar and tucking into the fridge, they keep well and become a delicious, healthy, grab and go breakfast for any day of the week.
Want to make it an overnight oats type of thingy, try adding some of my delicious soft baked granola!
