we are just hours away from one of the biggest holidays of the year. ESPECIALLY if you are like me and live anywhere near the coast. the beach is MADNESS on the fourth. and partying starts EARLY in the day.
and what is the most important part of a long day of drinking & fireworks? breakfast.
fill yourself up with something delicious and healthy before filling up with beer and bbq.
these gorgeously patriotic parfaits are full of flavor, use only natural sweeteners and are guaranteed to get your party started.
independence day parfait
serves: 4 parfaits
prep time: 10 minutes
active time: 5 minutes
total timez; 15 minutes
ingredients: 2 cups greek yogurt. 2 cups orange blossom granola (if you do not have this on hand or don't want to make it, your favorite granola is the perfect substitute). 1 cup blueberries. 1 cup chopped strawberries. 2 tbs honey. 4 cups for serving. optional: piping bag with round tip or plastic zip loc bag. edible flower for garnish.
start by drizzling the yogurt in honey and combining the mixture well.
then, you have some choices. if you have a piping bag handy, i recommend filling the piping bag with the yogurt mixture. if you are like most people and do not have a piping bag, you could use a zip lock bag. fill it up and snip off one of the corners for easy squeezing. if a spoon sounds more up your alley, use a spoon.
regardless of your tool, scoop .25 cup of yogurt into the bottom of each cup.
hen layer .25 cup of granola. followed by .25 cup of mixed berries.
repeat that process with each cup till you have two beautiful layers of each ingredient.top with edible flowers and serve or store for later consumption.
xo, a
