These yogurt parfaits are low in calories, healthy and delicious! It has all that I need and love in one little cup. They are simple to make and layer so easily. Begin by layering your cup or bowl with your desired yogurt. The best yogurt I love is a rich and creamy yogurt that is usually vanilla flavored. Vanilla yogurt is a sweet and creamy yogurt that is popular for yogurt parfait recipes. Greek Yogurt is also a favorite and has a thicker texture plus protein already in the yogurt.

The next layer is granola! This is a sweet and crunchy texture. With the yogurt and granola combination it makes you keep digging in. I love my homemade granola that is filled with oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit baked all together. This granola will last about 1 month stored properly but I have never made it past a few days. It is that good!! It is simple to add to so many recipes or just enjoy a handful at a time.

Fresh berries are then added to this layer and make this yogurt parfait even better with sweetness and the fresh taste of berries in every bite. I can never have enough berries in my life!

Yogurt parfaits are the BEST recipe to make on a busy day or even the day before. They are simple to make ahead of time and grab straight out of the refrigerator. Make it even easier on you and wash, dry and cut the fresh berries that need to be cut then place in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

• Can you make yogurt parfaits ahead of time? Yes! They are best fresh and made at the time of enjoying but you can make these ahead of time. The berries do tend to bleed and color the vanilla yogurt if they sit for too long. It is best to prepare the layers in a cup, then tightly wrap the cup the best you can in plastic wrap. When ready to eat just add the last topping of fresh berries and you you have a go-to breakfast each morning.
• Can you freeze yogurt parfaits? No, this is best not to freeze. They are simple to make and can be made quickly in less than 5 minutes.
