A simple breakfast for when you run out of cereal and just don’t feel like dirtying the stove with eggs, pancakes or what-have-you.

And lucky me, I had just enough yogurt to pull this together (random thought: don’t you shake your head at yourself for leaving a few spoonfuls of yogurt at the bottom of the container?! why not eat all of it the first time around?), plus a few strawberries and a whole package of Trader Joe’s Blueberry Muesli.

Use this recipe as inspiration for your own yogurt parfait! Here are some ideas:

• Instead of strawberries, use blueberries, raspberries, chopped peach or apple
• Instead of the muesli, use homemade granola or crumble up one of those packaged granola bars

Clearly, the world is your oyster when it comes to a yogurt parfait. Plus… it’s probably the cheapest parfait you’ll ever eat. No thanks, Starbucks, Pret a Manger, Le Pain Quotidien and McDonald’s… I don’t need your fast food versions!
