Parfaits are so beautiful. Seriously, just look at these Blueberry Peach Yogurt Parfaits – they make me smile and want to throw a party.
Parfaits can be anything you want them to be: healthy, decadent, smooth, crunchy, fruity or cakey. They can be made with your favorite flavors and colors and in any season. They aren’t snobbish and are happy eaten whenever you want – from breakfast to a late-night snack.
These Blueberry Peach Yogurt Parfaits are created with delicious and healthy ingredients: Greek yogurt, seasonal peaches, fresh & dried blueberries, oats, pistachios and toasted almonds. Cheers for health! Cheers for flavor! Cheers for you and me!
I just talked myself into having a party, and Blueberry Peach Yogurt Parfaits will be the guest-of-honor. Many other Simply Sated stars will be there: Coffee-Crusted Filets, Two-Potato Gratin, Salted Toffee Oyster Crackers and Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea – you must attend.
I sure hope the parfaits come prepared to speak, because I know the other guests will except to hear from such an esteemed honoree. I can practically hear the clapping…
“Parfaits! Parfaits! Parfaits! Parfaits!!! We won’t shut up ‘till you stand up.”
Enjoy!
