yummy yogurt and fruit and granola recipe

fruit yogurt and granola

In my first post i talked a little about my love for fruit yogurt and granola also known as a parfait. well i want to talk about it more. its healthy and VERY yummy, another reason is because all the ingredients in a parfait are cheaper than most, which is awesome because i go to school work two jobs and support people. i need cheap.  

A parfait is also very easy to make, you get a yogurt you like, it doesn't even need to be plain you can get a flavored one if that's better for you. i have tried different recipes from different people and i'm just a big fan or vanilla yogurt strawberries and  some granola on top. i have seen simple and i have seen crazy. i love trying new ideas it helps when its cheap to do so. 

you can do simple by the ingredients i just listed or you can go big like some people that i know. one thing about a parfait is that even a little bit will fill you up quite easily. there are many healthy filling components to a parfait, you have the yogurt which is healthy, even if you do go with a flavored one like strawberry, it is still better than lets say a pack of Oreo's.  then you have the fruit, which people are always saying to eat more fruit, which in a parfait you can get plenty of fruit, you can go with allot, or a little if your not a fruit fan. than lastly (if that's all your putting in it) you have the granola which is good for you and veryy yummy, all this together you have very nice snack and still be healthy, its a snack you can feel good about eating. 

there are some parfaits that honestly sound interesting, like pineapple, or almonds. i am not saying it wouldn't be good its just something that is interesting and on my list of parfaits to try. i am not a big fan of many nuts, especially almonds ( granted i ABSOLUTELY love almond joy.. ) but maybe ill try it one day ( veryy far in the future.. i live granola) bananas is another one that i am surprised i haven't thought of trying, which i loveeee bananas and i love parfaits.. so i might have to go and buy the stuff and have a strawberry and banana parfait.  

I've usually end up going back to vanilla yogurt just because for a parfait i think its best , and if i am not eating a parfait i love other flavors. 

i would really like to try this parfait cake. i think that would be sooo cool to do not only for the people in my house but if i were going to a party where everyone brought food i could try this out and see how they like it, no one in my family has brought this yet so i think it would be something awesome to try.
