How to Make a Berry Parfait

June is National Dairy Month, and what better way to enjoy a healthy dairy treat than a fast, easy fruit and yogurt parfait?

You have endless possibilities with flavor combinations. I love buying locally grown, seasonal fruit, like blueberries and strawberries. Later in the summer, peaches are delicious! I experiment with different kinds of granola and yogurt flavors for variety.

Yogurt gives you a protein boost and much-needed calcium. The fruit and granola add fiber and all kinds of vitamins!

Pro tip: keep your yogurt separate from your granola to keep it crunchy.

For our video, we used low-sugar vanilla yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, and a mixed berry granola.

You can find loads of recipes and information about dairy on The Dairy Alliance website.
