It is Saturday morning and I laid in bed with my dog finished LOST, the final season. AMAZING. But....another wonderful addition to Saturday morning is my winter yogurt parfait. It is vital that you use fruit that is in season, or else it will have that out of season tartness that ruins your meal. Here's the other thing that I learned from a friend in college-a mug makes for a perfect bowl! I love my cereal or granola in a mug watching TV or kicking back in bed reading.
It's quite simple: you need 3 basic ingredients:
A good and hearty granola (I prefer Nature's Path Pumpkin Seed Granola)
Fresh sliced fruit (in the winter, I use kiwi often, since it is in season)
Fat-free yogurt (I use FAGE 0% greek yogurt, but if you prefer the vanilla creamy yogurt, go for it!)
Just put a few dollops in the bowl. Sprinkle as much granola on top (I usually use half the serving size on the box). Then add fresh fruit. Sometimes, I even add walnuts, almonds, or dried fruit as well.
You don't need sugar if the fruit is in season. Give it a try, and see what you think. Anyone can make a parfait, but not everyone can make an AMAZING parfait. So hop to it and have a great weekend!
