Looking for a healthy Valentine’s Day treat that is also quick and easy? These can be made in a nice serving dish for an impressive brunch or in a jar for a make-ahead, grab-and-go breakfast. You can even make several at a time — they keep for about two days in the refrigerator!

I made my first batch with Delta® Greek Yogurt (Plain, 0 percent Fat) but if your kids like it a bit sweeter, I would suggest using vanilla- or strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt or adding a splash of honey to plain yogurt. I add fruit according to what’s in season. The yummy parfaits shown here are made with strawberries, blueberries, and granola, and another variation is pineapple, banana, granola, and coconut flakes. 

Perfect Parfait

Prep time: 5 minutes

Serves: 2 parfaits

2 Delta® Greek Yogurt, 5.3oz cups (you can use plain, vanilla
or strawberry)

1 cup sliced fresh fruit, your choice

1/2 cup granola

1 tsp. honey (optional)

2 tbsp. coconut flakes (optional)

Spoon one Greek yogurt cup into a serving dish (if using honey,
add 1/2 tsp. to the yogurt).

Layer with 1/2 cup fresh fruit.

Top with 1/4 cup granola and 1 tbsp. coconut flakes.

Repeat above for each parfait.
