Fruit tastes great in the morning. So does yogurt. Put them together in an easy-to-assemble breakfast (or mid-day snack, or even dessert) that’s tasty, satisfying and kid-friendly, too!

Try these yummy ideas for delicious — even brunch-worthy — fruit + yogurt parfait combos. You don’t really need a recipe (which makes it even easier for young ones to help assemble their own); the magic of parfaits is that you can layer your favorite flavors as you like. Just aim for about 1 cup (8oz) per serving. Morning rush tip: We like to use the same favorite glasses, bowls or cups each time, so we can tell by looking when we’ve got a serving ready to go without having to measure out every ingredient.

Berry Granola Parfait 

(inspired by Rachael Ray on the Food Network)

Ingredients
Silk® Vanilla Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative or your favorite vanilla yogurt
Earthbound Farm Frozen Organic Strawberries, defrosted, and their juice
Fresh blueberries, blackberries or raspberries (preferably organic)
Granola

Directions
Layer yogurt in the bottom of your glass. Combine defrosted strawberries and juice with fresh berries. Alternate layers of fruit and granola with yogurt until the glass is filled (or to a 1 cup serving). Serve immediately so the granola stays crunchy.

 

Peach Chia Berry Yogurt Breakfast Parfait

(inspired by IowaGirlEats.com)

Ingredients
Silk® Peach & Mango Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative or your favorite peach yogurt
Old-fashioned oats, uncooked
Chia seeds
Silk® Almondmilk or Almond Coconut Blend
Earthbound Farm Frozen Organic Raspberries and Frozen Organic Blueberries
Fresh banana
Chopped raw or toasted, unsalted almonds, walnuts or pistachios (optional)

Directions
In a bowl, combine yogurt, oats, chia seeds and just enough almondmilk to smooth out the mixture, and stir to combine thoroughly. Alternate layers of the yogurt mixture with layers of fruit in a wide-mouth mason jar or container. Refrigerate overnight; the seeds and oats will absorb moisture from the rest of the mixture and plump up. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if using, and enjoy cold.

In a small bowl, stir together half of the yogurt with the chocolate until thoroughly mixed. In a separate bowl, mix the other half of the yogurt with the nut butter and cinnamon (or other spice) until smooth. Refrigerate both mixtures until they firm up a bit. Alternate layers of each yogurt mixture with granola in a tall glass, finishing with granola on top, and enjoy immediately.
