We love breakfast around here. We are definitely NOT one of those families that skip breakfast 🙂  Whether it’s  Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Breakfast Burritos or my favorite – Eggs Benedict {yummo!}  As much as I love a hot breakfast, mornings can be hectic and we can’t eat Breakfast Burritos every morning.

Another option that the boys ADORE are my Honey Vanilla Parfaits. I make them the night before and they’re ready to go the following morning. Depending on who it’s for, the granola can be added to the jar in the morning or gets put in a little baggie to be added at work. I use my very favorite yogurt, Tillamook Vanilla Bean yogurt for my parfaits. {Bryce likes the Marionberry!}

Tillamook’s Vanilla Bean yogurt is sooo good and although it’s perfect lovely on it’s own, it really makes a difference when making up these parfaits. You can actually see the specks or real vanilla in the yogurt – it’s just delicious!

Ingredients for Honey Vanilla ParfaitsFor each parfait:

  • 1 6oz Tillamook yogurt
  • 2 tsp-2 Tbls honey
  • 2-3 Tbls granola
  • 1/4 cup frozen or fresh berries
  • jar

I like to make up the parfaits in jars because it looks so pretty and feels like a real treat. I use jelly jars, artichoke jars, you name it. Wash and recycle people! {Use one of my two easy methods for removing jar labels too!}

Assembly:

Depending on the size of your jar, you will make 2-3 layers. Start by spooning 1/3 of the yogurt into a wide-mouth jar. Follow with 1 tsp-1 Tbls honey {depends on your preference for sweetness – we do 1 Tbls 😉 } Then add 1 – 2 Tbls berries.

Layer 1-2 more times until the jar is almost filled. You want to leave a little room to add the granola later. Close up the jars and put them in the fridge. If you are using a mason jar, place the lid on the jar, fill a small plastic bag with the granola, place the bag over the lid and then screw on the band over the plastic bag.

Then when you’re ready to eat, add the granola and enjoy!

    Hi Trish,

    These look delicious! I’m going to make them tonight, though I only have Stonyfield Greek yogurt on hand, I’m sure it will work just as well. I was wondering if you thaw the frozen berries first so they aren’t too juicy, or just throw them in frozen?

    Thanks so much for sharing!
    Chris

    I just came across your blog via Pinterest and love it! My boyfriend is in school and never seems to have time for breakfast and these would be PERFECT! You said you make them the night before…. but I was wondering how long you think these would last refrigerated? Maybe go off the yogurt expiration? We don’t live together so my thought is to make enough for a week and leave them in the fridge for him to grab and go. What do you think?

    What a great idea! My teenagers often complain that there is ‘nothing GOOD for breakfast’ during the week, when they’re in a hurry, and this will be something both girls can agree on! The hubs and me, tipi, come to think about it.

      Dorothy you MUST make these! My boys think these are like the biggest treat ever and my husband is always asking for them – so good! The honey just adds a little something that takes them over the top 🙂
