Strawberry Blueberry Yogurt Parfaits are healthy, budget-friendly, no-bake desserts made with greek yogurt, granola, strawberries, and blueberries, and are sweet, creamy, crunchy, and yummy!
As I mentioned previously, I’m currently cooking for my Mother-in-Law who is diabetic, and recently had heart surgery and requires a heart-healthy, diabetic diet. If that is not enough, she also has a fierce sweet tooth. Trying to reconcile the dietary requirements with her sweet tooth is a challenge, to say the least.
In addition, I have a full-time job in addition to blogging. So, like many of you, I’m busier than a centipede in a shoe lace tying competition. So I need a dessert that is quick and easy and no fuss.
And, of course, my family, especially my Mother-in-Law needs to like it. If I mention greek yogurt, she says she does not like the taste. However, if I ask if she would like strawberries, blueberries and cream, then it is ok. I add a little diabetic sugar to the greek yogurt as well as the berries, and she loves it! Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Don’t tell her.
I also like the versatility of this because it can either be breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack. So easy!! You can use a store bought granola. However, I just toasted some oats and pecans for about 8 minutes in the oven and was good to go. And, it is SOOO much cheaper than buying prepared granola! Saahhhweeet!!
Don’t be shy! Leave me a comment and let me know for which meal are you going to make this delicious Strawberry Blueberry Yogurt Parfait? Breakfast? Dessert? Afternoon snack? I’m waiting to hear from you!

We love yogurt granola parfaits of all kinds at our house. It’s a great way to enjoy a healthy sweet. My hubby is another one that loves sugar overmuch. But he asks for yogurt parfaits all the time. Thank you for linking up at #PureBlogLove Link Party. The party starts every Thursday night at 8 p.m. and runs through the week end. I’m hosting at http://www.homemadefoodjunkie.com. I’d love to see more of your ideas!
