Red White and Blue Parfaits
Description
The Red White and Blue Parfaits combine layers of fresh strawberries and blueberries with Greek yogurt and all-natural granola. The strawberries and blueberries provide bright red and blue hues and juicy, sweet-tart flavors. The Greek yogurt lends creaminess and tang, balancing the fruit's acidity and offering protein and texture.
The inclusion of granola adds a crunchy contrast to the softness of the fruit and yogurt layers, creating a pleasing mouthfeel. Optional honey drizzle can increase sweetness and complement the natural fruit flavors.
These parfaits are well suited for breakfast, light dessert, or snack occasions. They are easy to assemble and visually appealing, making them suitable for casual or festive settings. The use of fat-free plain or vanilla Greek yogurt allows some customization of flavor and nutritional content.
Nutrition will vary depending on yogurt choice, and the recipe is flexible for substitutions while maintaining the layered presentation.

Notes
