Well, the months of splurging are long gone and the New Year is upon us so time to rethink what we are eating! I usually skip breakfast, I know - NOT GOOD! I'm not teaching my kids wholesome habits by doing that, so one promise I want to make is to be a better example to my children!
Mornings are always rough for my kids because they want to eat but take so long getting dressed, or in the bathroom that they usually skip breakfast. Already taking after me....so this year, we are ALL changing that!
Everyone needs a dose of calcium and big energy boost first thing in the morning so why not make a yummy, delicious PARFAIT! Layering all these ingredients in a beautiful glass will make my kids (and myself) think they're eating a dessert in the morning.
It only takes 5 minutes and four ingredients to accomplish this yummy jumpstart to the day!
What You Will Need to Make a Yogurt-Granola Parfait with Berries:
- Van's Blueberry Walnut Gluten Free Granola- Two containers of Yogurt - we used Blueberry and Mixed Fruit
- Fresh Raspberries
- Fresh Blueberries
- Cool Parfait Glass- I used plastic for the kids!
How to Make a Yogurt-Granola Parfait with Berries
- Start by filling your cup or container with a layer of blueberry yogurt
- For the second layer add Van's Food Blueberry Walnut Granola
- The third layer is FRUIT
- Then layer of mixed fruit yogurt
- Add more yummy Van's Food Blueberry Walnut Granola
- The last layer is more FRUIT!
- ENJOY!
Keeping it Real with Van's Blueberry Walnut Soft Baked Whole Grain Granola- Gluten Free
Van’s Foods Gluten Free products is a brand that we love and use in our home. I knew this granola would be perfect for my parfait so when we headed to my local Meijer I picked up a couple of bags in the dry snack aisle. We also use the granola for quick snacks on the go, afternoon or evening pick me up, and lunch snacks for the kids.
After making this the first time, my kids said they had a fabulous day at school, and their energy level was higher than normal! They have been on me to make it every day, but I have other plans for more Van's Foods meals, so they need to chill and see what else I come up with for breakfast!
After eating breakfast this week, I noticed a big change in my mood and energy levels. I need to keep this up plus be the role model my kids need. Parents are to be role models, and I want to show my kids how to eat a wholesome meal plus show them my commitment to the New Year!

When I first started eating Greek yogurt I couldn't deal with the taste or lack there of so I added fruit. There's something about the combination of yogurt and fruit that is so tasty and so filling.
This looks so delicious! I love yogurt with granola and fruit!
This looks really awesome! I love easy to make desserts like this. They're not just any kind too, they're healthy and filling!
Snacks like this are great especially now that I'm on a whole 30 diet. I love that this requires little ingredients and it also has fresh fruits!
This looks so yummy! I will have to try van's and whip up my own parfait. I like that they are gluten free. Thanks for the coupon!
ohh, dropping by on this post makes me crave for this. The picture looks so yummy and I want some right now. I need to check the recipe and buy so I can make one.
that looks so yum!! i would love to try this next week when my hubby came back from work!
Awesome dessert idea. Love that it is healthy and yummy at the same time. I have to try to find that Blueberry Walnut granola. Looks delicious. I added it to my grocery list already.
Oh my, I'm really not a fan of yogurt or anything sour, but look at that! It's caught my eyes and I really want to make one now!
I love Van's! Having a daughter who can not have gluten, and with myself having a sensitivity to it, we tend to buy a lot of Van's products. Thanks for sharing this parfait! Looks delicious, I think my daughter and I will love it!
Love how simple and delicious this snack looks. And it's good that fruits are my weakness :)
That sounds so yummy! I love recipes that are balanced, healthy, and delicious! Granola is my favorite breakfast item, and a parfait is one of the many ways I enjoy it!
I love easy to make dessert. This looks yummy! I know my kids are going to love it. All their favorites in a glass.
I've been looking for a good yogurt, granola, parafait. I think it's a great way to get the kids to eat yogurt.
With the start of the new year I have made an effort to eat healthier, I have found that I actually love yogurt based items for breakfast and to snack on throughout the day. This one looks simply delicious, and I have a big taste crush for granola. I am saving this one to try this weekend. Thank you!
