Patriotic Parfaits

Individual Patriotic Parfaits are the perfect thing for a 4th of July brunch! Growing up my mom always called me a “junk food junkie.”  I have the ULTIMATE sweet tooth!  I just can’t get enough.  Consequently, I have to make very conscious choices if I want to have healthy eating habits now that I am a “grown up.”

Back in the good-old pre-baby rocking-metabolism days of college I used to eat a Snicker’s Bar and a Mt. Dew every day for breakfast.  And a Hot Pocket for lunch.  And donuts and chocolate milk for a snack during class.  And fast food and Dr. Pepper for dinner.  And maybe ice cream at night.  I wish I was kidding.  I feel sick to my stomach even reading that.  Gross.  Gross, gross, gross.

I wish I could say that now I crave fruit and vegetables.  I do not.  I crave expensive chocolate and warm cookies and Dr. Pepper.  I have problems.

As my followers know, I live with my dad.  He is not like me.  He is obsessed with being healthy.  He’s a highly self-disciplined man.  One of the things he is obsessed with is green smoothies.  I am in charge of the food for the home, and one week I accidentally bought vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain Green yogurt for his supplies.  One taste of the vanilla and he was obsessed.  Now every night I have to listen to him wax philosophic about how he swears it is as good as vanilla ice cream.  Keep dreaming, Pops.

But, I must admit, vanilla Greek yogurt is good.  VERY good.  So I decided to combine our favorite vanilla Greek yogurt with my favorite granola and some fresh fruit in jam jars to make cute little personal patriotic parfaits.  I think they would be perfect for a Foruth of July brunch, don’t you?

The secret to their divine taste is the brand name ingredients.  TRUST ME.  It’s crazy healthy, and I LOVE it.  That’s how you KNOW it’s good!  It is junk-food-junkie-approved.

Here are the ingredients that you will need:

*  Dannon Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt
*  Quaker Oats & Honey Granola (in the cereal aisle)
*  Blueberries
*  Strawberries
Individual Patriotic Parfaits are the perfect thing for a 4th of July brunch! Now just scoop in one layer at a time!  Easy peasy!  (I got the cute jars last year at Walmart when I was making jam.)

Check it out!  Not only is this parfait Dad and Junk-Food-Junkie approved, but also kid-approved!  My stinking adorable nephew is proof of that!
Individual Patriotic Parfaits are the perfect thing for a 4th of July brunch! If you want to make these parfaits portable but cutesy you can use a bit of fabric and cut a circle with pinking shears and grab it in the jar lid.  My mom used to do that to gift her homemade jams to people during the holiday season.
