Parfait, French for “perfect,” is traditionally a French dessert. In the United States it has transitioned into a healthy and filling breakfast or snack, typically made with yogurt, granola and berries. You can layer the yogurts, fruits and cereal of your choice. In the spirit of the 4th of July I layered strawberry, vanilla and blueberry yogurts with homemade granola to create a festive red, white and blue breakfast. I mixed in chopped raspberries and strawberries and whole blueberries to make the red, white and blue layers stand out.
