Sandi's parfait

Advertisement

After my last trip to McD's, I decided I can make this parfait on my own, and it's so much better. So here's my version of their $1 parfait:

Yoplait Light, Thick and Creamy vanilla yogurt (it's thicker, and fewer calories)
Blueberries
Strawberries
Banana
Granola (on the organic aisle)

In a clear glass, put one dollop of yogurt and top with a layer of blueberries and sliced strawberries. Put another dollop of yogurt, then add a layer of sliced banana. One more dollop of yogurt, to cover it all, then put a lid on it and refrigerate. Before you serve it, sprinkle the granola on top.

This is easy to do (and you can substitute your favorite flavor of yogurt, too), it's better for you than ice cream or candy and your kids will love it. Plus, in the clear glass, it's more visually appealing.
