We are almost getting near to the end of the Month Long A to Z Marathon. For the alphabet Y, I decided to make a simple breakfast Parfait with fruits that I like. We always have a bag of frozen blueberries in the refrigerator that I use for making Blueberry muffins or for my smoothies. This time I used it to make this delicious Yogurt Blueberry Banana Granola Parfait.
My older son is really fond of granola and thanks to our local Sprouts store, we always have access to really good variety of granola. Every now and then when he joins me for shopping, he gets to pick his choice of granola flavor. This time we had some French Vanilla almond granola that I used in my parfait.
Lately, me and my husband have been trying out some lighter breakfasts. We have smoothies couple of days and week and I guess after I made this Yogurt Blueberry Banana Granola Parfait, we are covered for couple of more days. The choices of fruits or berries that we can use in the Parfait is totally based on individual preference. We can use fresh fruits or defrosted frozen fruits to layer the parfaits. I am totally looking forward to trying out different combinations.
I used plain Greek Yogurt today to make the Yogurt Blueberry Banana Granola Parfait. You can use any flavored Greek Yogurt of your choice. If you don;t have Greek yogurt on hand, feel free to strain out some extra liquid from the regular yogurt and using a muslin cloth and use that. You could use honey, agave or any other sweetener of your choice.

Sandhya the breakfast parfait looks so tempting. Love the clicks. I usually have smoothies for breakfast. Whenever I have Indian snacks as breakfast I feel so lethargic the whole day. My favorite breakfast whenever I’m in London or Montreal is granola parfait with yogurt and free berries.
