Stay Full All Morning with this Homemade Parfait Recipe

If you are like me, you are one of those people that have to have breakfast and coffee to be a functioning member of society every day. I was at the point where I was sick of every flavor Luna bar out there and needed something different. I started experimenting one day and put together some ingredients to make a parfait mix every Sunday that would last me throughout the week and that I could mix up different fruits in it.

Well, below is the concoction I am hooked on. As the fruit seasons change, you can change up the fruit, but the grapes are pretty much a constant in this breakfast dish.

Fruit & Yogurt Parfait
Servings- about 10  Prep time: 10 min.

Ingredients

• (1) 8 ounce tub of fat free cream cheese (I like the tub rather than the package because the tub is softer).
• (1) cup (8 ounces) of fat free plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup of sugar
• (2) teaspoons of vanilla extract
• (2) pounds of seedless grapes (I usually use red grapes)
• (2) cups of berries (strawberries, blueberries or raspberries)
• (2) cups of additional seasonal fruit
• granola sprinkled on each serving (I use Special K granola with a touch of honey)

Directions:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar and vanilla until blended. Add grapes and other fruits, then toss to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate. 
• Sprinkle granola on each serving.

This recipe always lasts me at least a week for breakfast, and I sometimes even eat it for a snack on the weekends. I wake up every day for work in just enough time to get ready and get out the door, so having a healthy breakfast already made has really helped me in the mornings. 

Hope you enjoy!
