Breakfast Ideas with Fruit and Yogurt
Choose your favorite flavor of yogurt and then choose the toppings you want to add. Here's a few ideas:
- Fruit. I love blueberries and raspberries.
- Avoid bananas unless you're going to eat the breakfast parfait right away. Bananas need to be eaten fresh right after slicing.
- Granola is a must...you need that crunch on top of the yogurt! You can use store bought granola or you can try my recipe for Coconut Pecan Chocolate Chip Granola.
- Homemade Granola - flavored with peanut butter is another favorite on top of yogurt. Making granola is really easy and the taste is really incredible!

Tips for Making the Breakfast Parfaits
- Choose your favorite flavor of yogurt and fruit. I love to use vanilla Greek yogurt, but another favorite is coconut vanilla yogurt. Yummy!
- Make sure the fruit is washed and dried before adding it to the mason jar or parfait glass so it doesn't cause the yogurt to get watery.
- Mason jars work great, but if you're worried about sending a mason jar to school use a plastic container.
- You can prepare these the night before, but don't add the granola. Package the granola separately so it doesn't get soggy.
