Sure do wish I had some fries, a burger and a pint of beer right now . . . so I'm making a fruit and yogurt parfait this Sunday evening
I've already mentioned in my previous post that I've been staying pretty lazy this week, I honestly don't know the reason behind it, do you know this feeling when you are about to say something and then suddenly your mind goes blank. That's about how I felt most recent days, I promise I'm gonna get better!
The very first fruit and yogurt parfait I've ever had was the one from McDonald's haha. To be honest I had no idea such a thing was a menu item at a fast food place, but when @matt-a got one for himself, I was like wow, I want it toooooo! I think that day started my tiny little obsession with this simple combo of random foods, however it didn't last long. And it isn't because I burnt out on it, we just don't really go to McDonald's often and it isn't always I happen to buy yogurt, usually I just stick with kefir and milk haha.
Anyway, let's make some fruit and yogurts parfaits!
I don't think I should list the directions for this one, it is pretty easy and straight forward, however I'm still going to mention the ingredients I used ^)

I think it is better to use plain low fat or fat free yogurt to reduce the calorie count a little bit if you're trying to watch your weight, sometimes I just go ahead and get that sweet vanilla greek yogurt, you know how good that is :) this time I decided to stick with the plain kind because one of my cats - Lenorka loves to lick on some yogurt occasionally just as well haha.
When it comes to fruits and berries, I try to use whatever is in season, but it is not easy to skip strawberries in winter time, so I just get them all year round, this time I had some too, blueberries and peaches will fit right into the mix just fine!
Don't forget about your granola, whether you buy it or make your own, I'm sure it'll be good. Speaking of which I've never made my own granola, gotta try that.
Have you tried adding some honey to your yogurt? it is actually pretty damn good, I've had it once haha I dunno why I didn't think of it this time?!
If you're like me, you don't need no jars, eat it from your bowl!
Traditional photo of a kitty, I thought this one turned out nicely, what do you think?

Thank you! I usually try to prepare something a few times a week and make a post about it, it really depends. Sometimes you just wanna cook and eat without documenting it haha. Although about 80% of my blog is recipes :)
