Greek Yogurt Parfait

Not only is this Greek yogurt parfait recipe great for breakfast, but it's so decadent, you could even enjoy it for dessert! The protein in this recipe comes from two sources: the homemade granola contains 4 grams of protein per serving while 7 ounces of Greek yogurt contains 20 grams of protein. This indulgent parfait is decadent enough to be a dessert, but with exactly what you need to start your day or snack on a mix of protein and fiber.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sliced strawberries (Any juicy fruit will work well here if you want to sub in things like raspberries, blackberries, kiwi, and mangoes.)
• 1⁄2 cup blueberries (frozen are good, too)
• 2 tsp sugar
• 4–5 mint leaves, sliced thinly
• 1 container (8 oz) of low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt
• 1⁄4 cup granola

Instructions:

1. Combine the fruit, sugar, and mint in a bowl, and allow to sit for 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Spoon half of the yogurt into a bowl or glass, then top with half of the fruit and granola, then repeat with the remaining yogurt, fruit, and granola.
3. Pour any accumulated juice from the fruit over the top.
