Fruit And Yogurt Parfait + a cat
Sure do wish I had some fries, a burger and a pint of beer right now . . . so I'm making a fruit and yogurt parfait this Sunday evening
I've already mentioned in my previous post that I've been staying pretty lazy this week, I honestly don't know the reason behind it, do you know this feeling when you are about to say something and then suddenly your mind goes blank. That's about how I felt most recent days, I promise I'm gonna get better!
The very first fruit and yogurt parfait I've ever had was the one from McDonald's haha. To be honest I had no idea such a thing was a menu item at a fast food place, but when @matt-a got one for himself, I was like wow, I want it toooooo! I think that day started my tiny little obsession with this simple combo of random foods, however it didn't last long. And it isn't because I burnt out on it, we just don't really go to McDonald's often and it isn't always I happen to buy yogurt, usually I just stick with kefir and milk haha.
Anyway, let's make some fruit and yogurts parfaits!
I don't think I should list the directions for this one, it is pretty easy and straight forward, however I'm still going to mention the ingredients I used ^)

I think it is better to use plain low fat or fat free yogurt to reduce the calorie count a little bit if you're trying to watch your weight, sometimes I just go ahead and get that sweet vanilla greek yogurt, you know how good that is :) this time I decided to stick with the plain kind because one of my cats - Lenorka loves to lick on some yogurt occasionally just as well haha.
When it comes to fruits and berries, I try to use whatever is in season, but it is not easy to skip strawberries in winter time, so I just get them all year round, this time I had some too, blueberries and peaches will fit right into the mix just fine!
Don't forget about your granola, whether you buy it or make your own, I'm sure it'll be good. Speaking of which I've never made my own granola, gotta try that.
Have you tried adding some honey to your yogurt? it is actually pretty damn good, I've had it once haha I dunno why I didn't think of it this time?!
If you're like me, you don't need no jars, eat it from your bowl!
Traditional photo of a kitty, I thought this one turned out nicely, what do you think?
Phew!

And these all are best for health.... Lenorka is very lucky that she is your pet and friend.... Now Lenorka is also my friend.... have a great week @kotturinn
Thank you! Yes, lenorka loves a lot of dairy products even though I try to limit her intake.
You should try this parfait with some honey, it will be so much better!!
Thank you @kotturinn ..... Let me try it with honey and then I'll tell you the taste of my own Parfait....
Great! Let me know when you try it!
These look healthy AND YUMMY! Reminds me of when I was about 7 in Allen Park, MI my friends and I crossed the Big Road (Allen Road) to go to the Tasty Freeze for the first time and I got a parfait....YUM, Ice cream, pineapple, strawberry, whipped cream, and loads of chocolate sauce!!!!
That sounds delicious, I should have put some chocolate syrup on my parfaits, maybe next time!
Or not! lol. My father in law used to say. "Once on the lips, forever on the hips!" You are better off without it I suppose hahaha
Good point! I probably should stay away hahaha
