I’m the type of person who walks into a Starbucks and orders a grande sugar-free non-fat half-soy organic-chocolate extra-hot white chocolate mocha. Yeah, not really : )! I’m not a big coffee drinker but I enjoy their yogurt-berry parfaits. I was craving one the other day and had some frozen blueberries around so I decided to make this quick 4-ingredient Banana Blueberry Parfait. Blueberries are rich in nutrients and vitamins and have a very high anti-oxidant content, one more reason to enjoy them in parfaits, smoothies, juices, salads etc.
Time: 10 min, Prep: 10 min.
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup granola (I used Organic Vanilla Almond Granola – Nature’s Path)
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
Directions:
Place frozen blueberries (save a few to garnish) and half of the banana in a blender and blend until smooth. Divide the blueberry-banana mixture between two dessert cups or parfait glasses. Layer granola and banana slices. Top with Greek yogurt and garnish with a few blueberries and some granola.

Oh how I love Parfaits, I don’t think they are given the respect they deserve. Super versatile, absolutely delicious and packed full of nutrients. I’ve never tried using a blender to blend the fruit before (usually just pile them onto of each other) but will have to give it a try.

Love picking my own fresh berries from PYO farms but around here (Canada) blueberries are in season in late July so I still need to wait a bit for that :D.

I love blueberries. Oh my goodness–what a simple little snack—but it looks wonderful (awesome pictures:). Have you tried it with frozen bananas? Have a great week:)

Thanks Rachel! I haven’t tried it with frozen bananas but I’m sure it tastes awesome that way as well… more refreshing with a smoothie consistency yum!
