If you do not have time to make your own granola, you can select a store-bought, low-fat version available in the cereal aisle. But, for a truly homemade breakfast experience, whip up a batch of Cinnamon Spiced Granola the night before to top off this yummy parfait! You can omit the dried fruit from the granola in this case, if you wish, and enjoy this healthful morning treat.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup Cinnamon Spiced Granola (or store-bought version, if you prefer)
  • 1 cup non-fat, vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sliced, fresh strawberries

Preparation:

1. Begin with 1 tablespoon of Cinnamon Spiced Granola, or other low-fat granola, in the bottom of a parfait glass. Next, layer 1/3 cup of the yogurt, and then 2 tablespoons of sliced strawberries. Continue layering yogurt, granola, and strawberries until the top of the parfait glass is reached.

2. Garnish with a fresh strawberry, if you wish.
