This Parfait Popsicle Is Your New Fave Breakfast

Ingredients:

– yogurt

– granola

– fresh fruit

– juice from ½ a lemon

– 2-3 tablespoons honey

– ¼ teaspoon vanilla (optional)

Tools:
– popsicle molds and sticks

Note: Measurements may vary depending on the size and number of popsicles you make — estimate about ¼ cup of yogurt and 2-3 tablespoons each of fruit and granola per popsicle.

Instructions:

Use your fave combination of fresh fruit and slice them up into small, bite-size pieces.

Adding lemon juice and honey to your fruit helps to macerate the pieces, amping up the flavor and drawing out some of the extra water. This makes the fruit the perfect texture for freezing.

If you’re using plain yogurt, add some honey and vanilla to taste to add some flavor. If you’re using Greek yogurt, remember to add some milk to thin it out for a more pourable consistency.

Adding a bit of yogurt to the granola helps it to freeze into the yogurt and create a more solid popsicle.

Time to start layering your ingredients! Start with yogurt, then add a spoonful of fruit and granola and repeat until full. It helps to press the fruit and granola down into the mold a bit so that there are no air pockets.

Add your popsicle sticks and they’re ready for the freezer!

The perfect summer breakfast!

Ready to dig in! These would do well as a totally delicious healthy after-school snack for the kiddies.

It’s hard to resist this classic combination of fruit, granola and yogurt. Get experimental and play with different combos of fruit or flavorings for the yogurt.
