Fruit, nuts, oats and greek yogurt, does anything get any better or healthier? These fruit & granola yogurt parfaits are really the only thing you'll ever want to eat in the morning after trying. They are not only the easiest option for a healthy breakfast but the perfect go to for a midday snack as well.
I made these fruit and granola parfaits for another one of my Motivation Monday recipes, because recently I have been busier than usual. With my summer semester of school coming to an end, I need something that will be satisfying, easy to throw together and transportable. Also, yogurt parfaits are so versatile, you can pretty much use any fruit you prefer or whatever is laying around the house!
Since summer is the perfect time for figs, I decided add them into my parfaits in addition to choosing a variety of berries and keeping with that theme, as I also used a blueberry preserve to provide a bit of sweetness. If anyone knows me, I have huge sweet tooth, so that was the perfect addition to the creamy and crunchy aspects of the parfaits!
Now lets talk about these mason jars, aren't they the cutest? They are the perfect serving size and make this parfait incredibly easy to transport to wherever you are going, with a lid that clasps and seals tight! Of course, you can use any glass you have around the house, but I liked these so I could take them to school with me and not worrying about them spilling!
