Granola Berry Parfait - you'll never go to McD's for one again! (PHEW!)

Yogurt = sometimes healthy
Berries = healthy
Granola = sometimes healthy

A yogurt, berries and granola parfait from a fast food restaurant? Not healthy. Don't fool yourself....sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the sugar packed yogurt and granola from those 'restaurants' is nothing but a giant sugar bomb.


You're way better off controlling the ingredients yourself and making it at home instead. It's simple to do! Plus, it looks beautiful and can be a pre-made dessert for a dinner party. It can be made in any clear glass - even those stemless wine glasses that we all have kicking around like I did in the picture above!

1) Layer yogurt, berries and granola in that order 2-3 times in a clear glass jar.
