Honey Raspberry Muesli Yogurt Parfait

Thanks to Nature Valley Muesli for sponsoring this recipe.

One of my favorite things to eat are fruit and yogurt parfaits. Now, I probably should preface that by saying my favorite things to eat that are at least somewhat healthy. I can’t remember the first time I had a fruit and yogurt parfait. Since I’ve been eating these ever since I can remember, I must have been a wee little tyke growing up in SoCal in the 1980s.

Anyway, the cool creamy yogurt combined with fresh fruit and some added muesli for a little crunch always makes me happy. Fruit and yogurt parfaits are great for breakfast with a cup of tea or a coffee. They make a fabulous mid-morning or mid afternoon snack. Fruit and yogurt parfaits are even good for a dessert. Especially if you’re trying to eat healthy.

When Nature Valley contacted me about their new muesli product, I was all about it! You see, I’ve been eating muesli for about as long as I can remember too. What’s muesli, you ask? It’s basically like a healthier version of granola. It’s usually not cooked, so muesli has less added sugar. But, it has all the goodness and great taste of granola. That’s what I call a win win.

A lot of people like their muesli hot, and soak it overnight. I prefer mine cold with rice milk. I let it set for about 10 minutes and dig in. There’s really no wrong way to eat muesli!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c Greek Yogurt – I used a honey vanilla flavor
• 1/2 pt. Fresh raspberries
• 3/4 c Nature Valley Muesli
• Local honey, if desired.

Instructions

2. Take a small cup or jar and sprinkle a layer of muesli in the bottom. About a tablespoon or two.
3. Add a layer of yogurt. Approximately 2-3 tablespoons
4. Add a layer of fresh raspberries. Top this with additional muesli. The muesli will fall down and fill in the space around the raspberries.
5. Drizzle a little honey on top of the berries, if desired.
6. Top with another layer of yogurt.
7. Add a few more raspberries and another spoon or so of muesli. Drizzle with more honey, if desired.
