A parfait is a breakfast or dessert with alternating layers of yogurt and/or whipped cream and fruit. They're typically served in a clear glass container to showcase the layers. They can be made sweet enough to be considered a dessert, or less sweet and enjoyed as a healthy breakfast. A breakfast parfait usually includes a crunchy element like granola or nuts. Parfait Variations to Try This quick and simple parfait features sliced strawberries tossed with a small amount of sugar to draw out the juice from the berries. The creamy layer is nonfat Greek yogurt that offers a tangy flavor and a texture thick enough to keep the layers separate. Finally, it's topped with granola for a little added sweetness and crunch. Want to make it your own? Try chopped peaches or nectarines in place of the strawberries. Blueberries, blackberries and raspberries work well too, but if you want them to be juicy, you may have to mash a few berries with the sugar in order to draw out the liquid. We like how the sugar adds sweetness to the berries, but you can skip this step and opt for a sweeter-flavored yogurt in its place. Can I Make Strawberry & Yogurt Parfait Ahead? Yes, but it won't hold forever. You can assemble the parfait in a pint-sized Mason jar up to two hours ahead. Additional reporting by Hilary Meyer Ingredients 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries 1 teaspoon sugar ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt ¼ cup granola Directions Combine strawberries and sugar in a small bowl and let stand until the berries start to release juice, about 5 minutes. To assemble parfait, layer yogurt and the strawberries with their juice in a 2-cup container. Top with granola.

Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
