Fresh Fruit Parfait

This is an addendum to my previous post on making homemade granola. After all, the parfait was the excuse that inspired the granola in the first place. So, I thought I should tell you how it turned out!

This is a slightly rich parfait made with whole milk (yes, I know. But I like the full fat!) Greek yogurt. If you are not so adventurous with the fat content of your breakfast, then you can easily substitute with 2% or 0%. I prefer Greek yogurt because of its smooth texture, but by all means use normal yogurt if that is all you have. To make plain yogurt thicker just strain through paper towel for an hour or so.

Fresh Fruit Parfait
( for one)

1 banana or 6-7 strawberries sliced thin
1/3 cup homemade granola
8 oz greek yogurt

All proportions are to my taste. You don't have to follow them in exact measure. Use the amount that you like.

To assemble, arrange the ingredients in alternating layers and top of with fruit or more granola.
