I used to love those parfaits from the golden arches, the layers of blueberries, strawberries and granola in between sweet vanilla yogurt. The downsize: lots of sugar. The positive: still healthier than a burger. :) But who wants pounds of sugar in yogurt and fruit? Shouldn't heavy sugar consumption be saved for cakes and cookies? Yes, I think so, too. So here's a giant (not so sugary) version of it...eat it all and feel good about it!
Fruit and Yogurt Parfait
2 servings
2/3 cup chopped strawberries
1/2 cup chopped blackberries or bananas or blueberries
2 cups plain yogurt (Greek is great, too)
4 teaspoons honey or 1 TB agave nectar
1/2 cup lowfat granola
Chop the fruit. Get out 2 glasses.
Layer in this order:

Listening to...Norah Jones' newest album.

| sideways...don't try this at home. It's not Dairy Queen. |
Why this is awesome:
- Matt found an old iTunes giftcard
- He handed it to me and said, "Buy the new Norah Jones album! She's one of your faves!" And I agreed to all of it. And then I realized that I haven't ordered an album on iTunes since before grad school, when I was footloose and fancy free (and had money for iTunes. Sigh.) And I forgot how.
- Her music really is good. Like really good. Complexly simple. For sure.
Happy day, friends!
