Yogurt Parfait

Yogurt Parfait for breakfast has been my number one survival meal the past couple of days. Returning from a wonderful summer vacation is hard, but returning to super humid weather which almost isn't that hot yet you already seem to drip in sweat only by walking up the stairs is even harder. So after waking up early because of the temperatures and air a cooling yogurt with fresh fruit and crunchy muesli is what I opt for. But instead of simply topping a bowlful with some fruit and similar I like to layer the ingredients all up parfait style - all the goodness in every bit and no leftover plain yogurt without any toppings in the end. Smart solution at its best!



To make it even better this one doubles as a visual eye-catcher because of the visible layers when served in a glass! So it can not only be served day in and day out as a breakfast staple but also accompany a beautiful brunching table on special occasions! Win-win situation! I've included the recipe for my favourite combination of banana, honey and muesli below, but don't be shy to throw in new combinations using a variety of fruit, chopped chocolate, granola/cereal, or even crushed cookies. The combinations are literally endless and you can be sure to have a new one every day!
