Jump to Recipe

Starting the day right is the key to a wonderful rest if the day! With this Yogurt Blueberry Banana Granola Parfait, you are doing just that. The best breakfast that is loaded with flavor as well as nutrition to get through the morning. This Parfait is not only delicious but is also very easy to put together.

Yogurt Blueberry Banana Granola Parfait

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.

Ingredients to make Yogurt Banana Blueberry Granola Parfait - (serves 2)

  • Yogurt - 1 cup (preferably Greek Yogurt)
  • Blueberry - ¾ cup (I used frozen blueberries)
  • Banana - 1 (sliced)
  • Granola - ¼ cup
  • Honey - 2 tsp

Procedure to make Yogurt Blueberry Banana Granola Parfait -

  • Mix the honey into the yogurt. I used plain Greek yogurt. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you could use the regular yogurt after straining it through muslin cloth.
  • I used frozen blueberries that I defrosted in the microwave until they are slightly soft.
  • Now all we need to do is start layering the bowl or the glass that we are going to serve the Parfait.
  • I started with a layer of sliced bananas and then topped it with blueberries followed by a layer of granola and then the yogurt. Repeat the layer once more or until the glass is full.
  • Serve immediately.

Expert tips

  • Greek yogurt works the best. If using regular yogurt, strain the excess liquid and use it in the parfait.
  • This breakfast parfait works great with frozen fruits as well. Feel free to mix and match the flavors.
  • This fruit parfait can also double as a dessert if you are in mood for something sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Breakfast fruit parfait Vegan?

Yes, absolutely we can make this vegan. Swap the Greek yogurt with plant based yogurt and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.

Can I assemble Parfait ahead of time?

I would suggest not to assemble the parfait ahead of time as the granola might lose its crunch. What we can do is have everything ready in the refrigerator, so all we have to do is assemble and it takes less than 5 minutes.

Can I make this Breakfast parfait with different fruits?

Absolutely yes. I love playing around with different berries and fruits to see what we like the best. I also like to add nuts instead of granola at times.

    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.
