Berry and Greek Yogurt Parfait with Homemade Granola

I am a huge cereal fan, HUGE! Just ask anyone who knows me. Every once in a while though, I feel like something else for breakfast. I had some left over homemade granola bars  and some berries that I needed to use up, so I got some yogurt and made a parfait. Parfait in French means "perfect," and that's just what it was!

Berry and Greek Yogurt Parfait with Homemade Granola

1 6oz cup of non-fat plain Greek Yogurt (I like Chobani)
1/3 C Homemade Granola
1 C fresh berries (I used blueberries, black berries and strawberries)

Start by washing fruit and cutting strawberries into smaller pieces. Layer some yogurt, then granola, then fruit in a glass, and repeat. Ta-da! Wasn't that easy?

You can really see the granola layer from this side.
I didn't think the yogurt needed to be sweetened up because I got some fruit in every bite, but you could always put a squeeze of honey or some sweetener in the yogurt before you layer it if you like. I just really like this particular brad of Greek yogurt because the serving has 18 grams of protein and only 7 grams of sugar. That's a lot better than some "fruit" yogurts!
